Real Madrid sensation Jude Bellingham has received high praise from former manager Fabio Capello, who envisions the young midfielder challenging Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for the title of the world’s best player. Capello, speaking glowingly about Bellingham’s performances, emphasized the English star’s completeness on the field.
Bellingham’s impactful stint at Real Madrid, marked by 14 goals and three assists in 18 La Liga games, has caught the attention of football pundits. Capello, foreseeing a future Ballon d’Or contender in Bellingham, mentioned him alongside Kylian Mbappe as the players poised to follow in the footsteps of Messi and Ronaldo.
The former Real Madrid boss commended Bellingham’s versatility, describing him as a “very complete player” capable of making a significant difference at a remarkably high level. Bellingham’s achievements, including winning the Golden Boy award and the Kopa Trophy, have already surpassed records set by Ronaldo in his debut season with Madrid.
Looking ahead, Bellingham aims for more titles and victories in 2024. However, Real Madrid will have to navigate a match without him as he serves a one-match ban against Las Palmas in La Liga, having received his fifth booking of the season against Almeria.
