Jude Bellingham has taken Real Madrid and World Football by a storm right now!
He’s gathered 15 goals + 4 assists in just 16 games for Real Madrid breaking the records of Puskas, Di Stefano and Ronaldo himself. All of this while just recently turning 20 years old, with his entire career ahead of him.
What he’s doing is unheard of, perhaps only Ronaldo Fenomenon himself had a better start to the season than him as a 20 years old.
The differentiator however is his impact in the game, he’s truly bossing the free role at Madrid contrubuting in goals, assists, key passes, dribbles, crosses, headers, flicks, finishing, playmaking, 1-2 passing, off ball movements, interceptions, tackles, positioning, strength, dominating, work rate and even leadership… There is truly nothing that this boy can’t do!
I genuinely cannot point a single weakness in his game right now, he’s top of the charts for almost all attributes since the start of the season. So these achievements so far in the season brings the question, What is his ceiling as a footballer provided he continues this streak? Generational? All-Timer? GOAT candidate?
One season is not enough, a lot can depend on Carlo Ancelotti’s playstyle
This is his peak tbh. Consistency is all that’s left to observe.
I think a lot of people are gonna switch up on him when Madrid finally get their striker and he stop scoring as much as he’s doing with this system
Goat talk already 😂 gimme 10 years performance that matches this season then we are talking. There are many factors that this output is not sustainable there were lots of greats in the past that succumbed to injuries or other ailments that couldn’t sustain the test of time. He is definitely in the best form that you can ask for any club may the god of football be with you
his ceiling is winners in the classico, asissts and goals in the CL groups…
Not much more to do really. I guess some big england games in late stage int. competitions.
Last thing is to keep his body fit and healthy for 10+ years
Insane
He is an amazing player without the goals (MVP of the German league with 19 years and without much goals).
If he is healthy; he is a hard working player, with the right mindset, all will depend on his team partners and the trophies he win.
didn’t deserve mvp of the German league icl. Musiala deserved it more, have u seen how he played throughout then season? Then also the title winning goal just to get robbed off both German league mvp and golden boy.
Correct. German players hardly get PR…only Lewy, Robben got it.
Musiala was amazing, so was Jude. That said, Bellingham was much more impactful for Dortmund than Musiala for Bayern. To the point that him getting injured might have been one major reason why Dortmund weren’t champions going into the final day, and why Musiala’s last goal even meant anything.
being that good for a long time is very difficult. also this is what differentiates between legend and great players
Looks likely to be up there with the greatest players ever in La Liga.
Beyond that depends on RM’s competitiveness in the CL over the next decade, and England’s in the big tournaments.
Would still love to see him play week in week out in the Premier League. But RM and La Liga makes a lot of sense in terms of winning the CL and having a long international career.
Ceiling is the same for him as everyone else: that yoke with a lightbulb hanging out of it
He’s incredible. Impossible to say how high the ceiling is on him.
One note for both his and Kane’s seasons so far: yes, they’re great, but we’re only part way through the season. Maybe they’ll fatigue or other teams will adjust. This time last year Haaland had what, 20 goals in the EPL so far? He still broke the record but his goal scoring pace dropped significantly. These guys get no break essentially so it’s mentally and physically so demanding.
ceiling is possible future GOAT contender. I don’t wanna get ahead of myself here, but he’s already shown to have what it takes.
He’s already at his best, what’ll make him GOAT level is doing this every season
You can’t put a ceiling on someone this good at this age, plus it’s so hard to predict the future.
GOAT candidate for sure, he scores a lot because of the current tactics of madrid, he almost plays like a transitional striker that makes runs from the centre and creates too while playing amf in 4312 diamond on paper, even if madrid signs a striker and switch to their usual 433 from next season, I’m sure he’ll continue to deliver but more from a creative side
Goat candidate lol
