English starlet Jude Bellingham has done a great job following his move to Real Madrid. The Spanish side splurged a massive $100 million to secure the player’s transfer from Borussia Dortmund. While the team expected the player to control their midfield, Bellingham has surpassed expectations by filling the goal-scoring void left by Karim Benzema’s move to Al-Ittihad. During a recent interview, Bellingham’s fellow English teammate lauded the player claiming that the sky’s the limit for the youngster.

The former Borussia Dortmund man will face the biggest challenge of the season tonight. Bellingham is expected to be a part of Real Madrid’s eleven for the El Classico. This will be the player’s first away game against Barcelona, and the Englishman will look to leave an impact on the game.

Manchester City star Kyle Walker during a recent interview with Sky Sports was asked to voice on opinion on Jude Bellingham’s impact on Real Madrid this season. The English veteran praised Bellingham for the role he plays, adding that Karim Benzema’s departure helped the player settle in.

“Same as Haaland, to hit the ground running in a different league for the club. The pressure that he’s got on him, you think Benzema leaving kind of helps him a bit. I think it has, you kind of look at the team and you’ve got Vinicus and you’ve got Rodrygo and you have got some top-quality players.”

Walker then added that Bellingham has done a great job fitting in amongst some top-quality players and has proven his quality. “But when they lost him, you thought where are the goals going to come from if they don’t go and get an out-and-out number nine? But he’s proven that he can chip in with the goals and um, as you say, I think the sky’s the limit for him.”


Jude Bellingham has been in exceptional form for Real Madrid this season. The English starlet has taken up the goal-scoring responsibilities left by Karim Benzema bagging eight goals for the team this season in La Liga. The player is set to be in action tonight as Real Madrid takes on FC Barcelona away from home.
