Jude Bellingham could not have hoped for a better start to life in Madrid.
The youngster began training with Los Blancos at a very high level and has seemingly taken his form onto the field as well.
Real Madrid’s legendary attacking midfielder, Guti, opened up about his thoughts on Bellingham earlier this week. As a player who plied his trade in a similar position, his words of praise are significant for the 20-year-old sensation.
" Jude Bellingham is the most complete player in the game now. It’s good that he came when neither Benzema nor Mbappé was around," Guti said on El Chiringuito in awe of the new signing.
Indeed, the English international has had an outstanding impact on the team since arriving earlier this summer.
He made his unofficial debut in the team’s first pre-season game of the season against AC Milan where he was arguably the team’s best player on the field.
In just his second game for Los Blancos, he found the back of the net against Erik Ten Hag’s Manchester United.
Bellingham made his official debut for Real Madrid at the weekend when the Merengues took on Athletic Club at San Mames.
He scored the team’s second goal of the night and was undisputedly the best player on the Night.
The 20-year-old is an undisputed starter under Carlo Ancelotti and appears set to make the attacking midfield role his own.
Playing in the space behind the two forwards, Bellingham will be tasked as the side’s creator-in-chief in the final third and appears to be one of the key players in the team already.
Moreover, Ancelotti will hope he continues to find the back of the net, especially given that Kylian Mbappe will not join Los Blancos this summer.
