Jude Bellingham with a debut goal for Real Madrid.

At 20 years old, a record transfer to Real Madrid, and now he scores in his La Liga debut while being named Man of the Match. Jude Bellingham already holds the status of one of the world's best midfielders at the age of 20, and he made the leap from Dortmund to Real Madrid this summer to prove he can perform at the highest level. If his debut is an indication of what's to come, Real Madrid may have found a new Galactico.
At the age of 17, he became the youngest debut goal scorer in Dortmund's history, and now he has also scored in his debut for Real Madrid. 

In their 2-0 victory against Athletic Bilbao, Jude Bellingham looked like a player who has been with Real Madrid for a long time, as he was outstanding both offensively and defensively. After the match, Carlo Ancelotti also had high praise for the English midfielder, describing his debut as outstanding.

Jude Bellingham’s stats in his Real Madrid debut: 
 1 goal
 75 touches
 83% pass accuracy
 2 key passes
 2 shosts
 3 successful dribbles
 13 ground duels won
 8.4 match rating

Real Madrid fans have compared him to a former legend who also wore the number 5, namely Zinedine Zidane, who is perhaps one of the best offensive midfielders to have ever played for the club. In terms of gameplay, they share many similarities. Bellingham's ball control and his ability to find his teammates are quite reminiscent of Zidane.
In the match against Bilbao, he played as an attacking midfielder, a false 9, with Vinicius and Rodrygo ahead of him. It was difficult for Bilbao's defense to keep track of the three, as they moved around the field. Without a typical number 9 anymore, since Benzema has left, it added to the challenge. The summer transfer window is not over, and in Madrid, there's a dream of adding Mbappe to the attack. If this happens, Bellingham will have another teammate to play with, and what an offensive force Real Madrid could become.
