The England international was a revelation for Los Blancos during his first campaign at the Santiago Bernabeu, scoring 23 goals en route to winning the La Liga and Champions League titles. These exploits put the 21-year-old midfielder in the race for the Ballon d’Or.
Having failed to find the target in Real’s final two games of the 2023-24 campaign, Bellingham opened the new season with a run of 12 games in which he barely scored. Questions were asked about his declining production, but he was moved further down so new ‘Galactic’ Kylian Mbappé could lead the front line.
Bellingham finally scored
Bellingham finally scored in Real’s 4-0 victory over Osasuna, thanks to a hat-trick from Vinicius Junior. He told reporters afterwards, referring to his lack of performance:
“I played as usual, but this time I scored a goal. There was a lot of talk about me because I scored a lot of goals last season, but my role has changed this season to focus on other aspects of the pitch. »
“I will do everything for the good of the team. I have been less selfish and I would like to continue like that. My goal is to help the team in any way I can. »
A few fitness issues have not helped Bellingham this season, but he is now fit and healthy and will hope to make a positive contribution in England’s upcoming Nations League matches before returning to Madrid.
