The heavy defeat of Real Madrid against FC Barcelona during the Clasico (0-4) on Saturday evening triggered a strong reaction from Jude Bellingham. Visibly frustrated, the England international left the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium in a rage, irritated not only by the result, but above all by his limited role on the pitch.
Positioned on the right side to fill the defensive gaps due to the presence of Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham feels removed from his usual offensive impact. With only 13 passes and no real danger created against the Catalans, the contrast is striking with his prolific performances last season.
A repositioning that weighs on Bellingham
Used to playing in a more offensive role, the former Dortmund player has still not scored this season. A notable change from his 10 goals at the same stage last year.
The situation could become explosive if Carlo Ancelotti does not find a quick solution to return Bellingham to its central place and influence in the Madrid game. This tension around the positioning of the Englishman could well aggravate the internal crisis at Real Madrid.
