The new Real Madrid starlet is making all the headlines

Jude Bellingham has been hailed as Zidane and Di Stefano successor by the Spanish media after another breath-taking performance against Napoli in the Champions League, which saw the youngster score a wonder goal, that will be remembered for ages.

With that his record has jumped to 8 goals in 9 games – a truly remarkable start of life at Los Blancos.

‘A little Di Stefano, a little Zidane’ and ‘It was like Maradona’ were two of the latest headlines.

Bellingham did downplay those comparisons by stating that there is a long way to go to even get close to these legends of the game.

“That’s a bit too much,” he said. “It was a nice goal. From what I’ve seen on YouTube and documentaries, his quality was a bit more than mine, or a lot more. I’m just trying to contribute in a Jude way.

“It may have been one of my best goals. We were facing a great team and in a great stadium. The most important thing has been the victory and having contributed to it. It is important to continue with this pace.”
