Jude Bellingham at Real Madrid has garnered praise from renowned football player Zinedine Zidane, who described himself as a “big fan” of the England player.

Bellingham was acquired by Madrid from Borussia Dortmund in the summer for a hefty sum of money. As one of the most intriguing young players in the world, he is already living up to the expectation.At the recently renovated Santiago Bernabeu, the attacking player has been a huge hit. So far this season, he has scored 20 goals in all games, which is a record for him in a single season. Donning Zidane’s number five shirt at Real Madrid, the 20-year-old has developed into a very elite football player. The young player is inspired by the France World Cup winner, which is why he choose that number. 

Bellingham previously told MARCA that he thought Zidane was one of the greatest midfielders in history, demonstrating his admiration for the player. His boots and his number should live on, I hope.Now that the young player has performed better than anyone could have predicted at Real Madrid, Zidane has returned the favour by telling Mundo Deportivo that he is a “big fan” of him. 

“He’s an incredible player who achieves incredible feats.” “You may have expected him to accomplish what he is doing, but he is surpassing all expectations,” Zidane remarked. “Keep in mind that he is just 20 years old.” He brought a lot of ambition and goals to Real Madrid, and he is now setting a higher standard. It’s wonderful to watch him being himself. I think he’s great, and we want to see him succeed with Real Madrid. He exerted great effort to achieve his goals. 

Bellingham severely damaged his ankle when grabbing a brace after a victory over Girona, hence he is currently unable to play. It will take the playmaker roughly three weeks to recover from his injury.
