Real Madrid superstar returns from the break in top form after stellar displays with national team

Real Madrid superstar returns from the break in top form after stellar displays with national team Jude Bellingham has been undisputedly one of the star performers in the UEFA Nations League so far, in this international break. Bellingham started with a valiant effort in the defeat to Spain, before starring in the 7-0 win over Croatia. Last night, he was on fire once again, helping England secure a 3-0 victory over Czechia. As club football resumes this weekend, it is fair to say that Bellingham will be one of the most in-form players at Real Madrid.

He made England history with that four-goal contribution, creating five chances and completing four dribbles while boasting a 100 percent pass accuracy. Against Spain, he was comfortably England’s best player, assisting Anthony Gordon’s opener and leading the attacks. In the final game against the Czech Republic, it was Harry Kane who stole the show with a brace on his record-equalling 125th cap, but Bellingham once again started as an undisputed figure in Tuchel’s side. The Englishman has shown no signs of his form being a mirage, having rediscovered his best since being handed a free attacking role.

Operating as a number 10 with freedom to roam, the 22-year-old has already scored three goals for the club, making him the second-highest scorer behind Kylian Mbappe, while also leading the team for assists. His current scoring rate of one every 206 minutes is not far off his brilliant debut campaign. That form has drawn widespread praise, with Roy Keane tipping him to become one of the greatest of all time, while Jermaine Defoe backed him to become England’s next captain. For Jose Mourinho, having Bellingham firing on all cylinders is a massive boost. With a demanding run of fixtures ahead, including El Clasico , the Englishman’s leadership and quality could prove decisive as Real Madrid look to close the gap on Barcelona.
