New exhibition by the British with assist and goal in the Naples field
He already has 8 goals and three assists in nine games
Jude Bellingham is already, without a doubt, one of the great revelations of the season. His adaptation to Real Madrid has been spectacular, making him one of the most profitable signings in the recent history of the white club. In Naples he once again put in another performance with a goal and assist that helped the team carry out the most challenging match in the Champions group.
Bellingham was Florentino Pérez’s big bet last summer. He gambled on a 20-year-old boy who had shown his class at Borussia Dortmund and paid just over 103 million euros. It was his only big investment in a summer complicated by the injuries of Courtois and Militao. Madrid did not move from its planning and was not even fazed by Mbappé after having allowed Benzema to leave for Arabia. Bellingham was the man. And boy has he been.
The Briton’s season is already enormous and if he continues at this pace he can break all debutant records. He already has a whopping eight goals in nine games and has provided three goal assists. Without a doubt, he has been the most decisive player for the whites at this start of the season, going far ahead of Vinícius, who scored yesterday but is far from his best form.
Bellingham’s insulting superiority in the first half against Napoli was, simply, brutal. He generated almost all of the team’s offensive play and feasted on the impotence of the midfield and the rival defense. He had no opponent. It is true that he slowed down in the second half as did the entire team in a strange duel. But when he appeared he made Naples tremble. He is at a level that is scary.
