Jude Bellingham silences critics with six goals in seven games for Real Madrid

In LaLiga, Real Madrid faced challenges early in the season, sitting two points behind Barcelona after a string of disappointing results. A narrow defeat to Atletico Bilbao prompted concerns regarding the team's lack of direction. Following an embarrassing 4-0 defeat in El Clasico, Jude Bellingham emerged as a key figure in the team’s resurgence. The English midfielder, who transferred from Borussia Dortmund for £85 million, demonstrated his talent by scoring a total of 23 goals and assisting 13 times in the previous season. With Bellingham positioned as an attacking midfielder, he was instrumental in Real Madrid's attacking plays, forging strong partnerships with established talents like Vinicius Jr. and new signing Kylian Mbappe. During a critical match against Osasuna, Bellingham's recalibrated positioning saw him score and directly contribute to Real Madrid's convincing 4-0 victory, marking a turning point in their season. Subsequently, he continued his impressive form in both LaLiga and the Champions League, with performances characterized by creativity and goal-scoring ability, helping secure vital points for his team. As the squad re-united strength, Real Madrid's trajectory shifted positively, showcasing how pivotal Bellingham's influence has been in steering the club away from a possible crisis. His recent performances also included standout contributions on international duty for England, underlining his growing status as a key figure in modern football.
