Jude Bellingham, the 20-year-old midfielder, has been impressing at Real Madrid, scoring eight goals and providing three assists in just nine games across all competitions. This is a remarkable return for a player who is often assumed to play in the middle of the pitch. Bellingham’s success can be attributed to two main factors. Firstly, with the departure of Karim Benzema, Real Madrid no longer have a striker demanding the ball. This allows Bellingham, as well as wingers Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr, to make runs through the center of the pitch and find space to score goals. Secondly, Bellingham has developed into a more attacking player during his time at Borussia Dortmund. His dribbling ability and willingness to take shots have significantly improved, making him a threat in front of goal. In fact, in his final year in the Bundesliga, no player completed more dribbles than Bellingham, and he finished tenth in total shots. It is clear that he has the courage and skill to step up and score goals for Real Madrid. Many believe that he is best suited to playing as a number 10 or even further forward as a second striker. Fans of Real Madrid are delighted with Bellingham’s development and the impact he has made so far.
