‘There’s no other reason’ – Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti explains Jude Bellingham’s sublime start to life at the Bernabeu after €103m summer transfer

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has shed light on the impressive start Jude Bellingham has made since joining from Borussia Dortmund.

Bellingham has had a remarkable beginning to his tenure in Madrid, scoring four goals in his first five games for the Spanish giants. The 20-year-old midfielder also showcased his exceptional form during England’s 3-1 victory over Scotland midweek, playing a pivotal role in the Three Lions’ triumph at Hampden Park.

Ancelotti was keen to heap praise on the young talent during his pre-match press conference ahead of Real Madrid’s domestic clash against Real Sociedad. He stated, “Players with strong character tend to handle pressure better than others. That’s the key. Bellingham possesses not only the quality but also the personality required to thrive at a renowned club like Real Madrid.”

He further added, “Bellingham is currently being evaluated based on his performances on the pitch, and he is proving himself to be an asset. Perhaps he wasn’t as widely recognized before because he was playing in Germany and didn’t have the same prominence as he does now, representing a prestigious club in a highly competitive league.”

Real Madrid will play host to Real Sociedad at the Bernabeu this weekend, looking to extend their unbeaten start to the season. The team’s confidence is soaring, thanks in part to impressive displays from players like Bellingham. Ancelotti is hopeful that Bellingham will continue to shine on the field and showcase his exceptional talent. Real Madrid fans are eagerly anticipating more from this young footballer and are excited about what he has to offer.
