Jude Bellingham is in an impasse with Real Madrid, Arsenal own future Cole Palmer

Jude Bellingham in a bind

It's always so complicated at Real Madrid, especially for Jude Bellingham, who is ” in a Labyrinth », titre AS. The Spanish media outbids itself by talking about a Bellingham at “ purgatory “. The Englishman has gone from epicenter to ignorance. He is the main victim on the pitch due to the arrival of Mbappé and the club's big forgotten Ballon d'Or winner. Jude Bellingham, formerly at the center of Madrid's attack, is having a very different season, marked by a role as ” sacrifice » defined by Carlo Ancelotti. The arrival of Kylian Mbappé made him “ the main victim on the ground », relegating Bellingham to a more remote position. His offensive performance dropped: “ at this point last year he had already scored 13 goals », recalls AS. In comparison, his influence has faded in the face of attacking strategies reoriented towards Vinícius, the club's main candidate for the Ballon d'Or, a choice that the club vigorously defends.
