Kylian Mbappe has been wanted by Real Madrid for a long time. But do they really need him now? Without a question, the Frenchman is a great player. But Jude Bellingham might already be a better one for Los Blancos. And if the English player keeps playing like this, the team should be built around him and no one else.
At the beginning of the season, Bellingham has been impossible to stop. It may be too early to say for sure, but Real Madrid seems to have another possible Ballon d’Or winner on their hands.
Many times, Bellingham leads Real Madrid to win all by himself. On the other hand, Mbappe has had a hard time doing the same thing with PSG since Lionel Messi and Neymar left. Right now they are fifth in Ligue 1, and last week they lost badly to Newcastle United in the Champions League.
Bellingham got two amazing goals against Osasune this past weekend, following up on his amazing goal against Napoli last week. At the time, the Englishman just seems to be in a different league. He could be the best player in the world right now. He is also setting records all over the place.
Ronaldo’s Real Madrid record is broken by Bellingham.
GOAL reported that Bellingham beat Cristiano Ronaldo’s record for most goals scored this weekend. In his first 10 games, he has scored 13 goals, while the Portuguese star had only scored 11.
Even more amazing is the fact that Bellingham plays as a number 10. His stats from the beginning of the season no longer make sense.
There was more good news for Real Madrid, though, as Joselu and Vinicius Jr. scored goals. So, it looks like Real Madrid is in great shape right before the first El Clasico.
