The reason why Jude Bellingham has already equaled Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid

Real Madrid is probably one of the most demanding teams on the entire planet, because, being such a historically great and successful team, the fans are not satisfied with anything. For this reason, new signings "suffer", since they have relatively little time to adapt to the team, and if they do not, they are immediately criticized.

Now, we have the absolutely opposite case, and that is that Jude Bellingham has amazed the Santiago Bernabeu (and the entire world) from minute 1. To get into the context of why Real Madrid fans love Jude Bellingam, it is that they still came with the open wound of the non-arrival of Kylian Mbappé. The Englishman did dare to take the leap in quality, and now he is the absolute leader of the squad.

The English midfielder, who does not play as a forward, has already scored ten goals in his first ten games for Real Madrid. This, combining all competitions (La Liga and the UEFA Champions League). The statistics are brutal, since never before has a new Real Madrid signing reached such numbers, much less one who is not a forward.

But why is Jude Bellingham now compared to Cristiano Ronaldo? The curious thing is that it is not a matter of the fans, but of the players on the squad themselves. In Jude Bellingham's last photo on Instagram, one of the comments with the most likes was from his teammate, Lucas Vazaquez, who commented: "CRBellingham", followed by a laughing emoji.

When will Jude Bellingham play again?

With Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham will have to wait until October 21 to play, and he will do so against Sevilla, a week before facing FC Barcelona. However, England plays a friendly match against Australia tomorrow, and then they will play Italy on October 17. This last match is not friendly, if it is not a qualification match for UEFA Euros 2024.
