‘I’m proud of the way he conducted himself!’ – Jude Bellingham hails Vinicius Jr after missing out on Ballon d’Or as he calls Brazilian winger Real Madrid’s ‘inspirational leader’

In Saturday’s 4-0 thrashing of Osasuna, Real Madrid recovered from two consecutive losses, and Vinicius Jr. performed as if he had something to prove. In a statement performance after losing the Ballon d’Or prize last month, the Brazilian winger scored a three trick and was instrumental.

Even Bellingham, who had a nice afternoon thanks to his club’s first goal of the season, scored. The 21-year-old got off to a sluggish start this season due to injury and adjusting to new teammate Kylian Mbappe, but he’ll be looking to build on last season’s success.

After the win, the England international gushed over Vinicius, calling him Real Madrid’s “inspirational leader” and saying how great his mentality was.

England will be playing in the Nations League, while Brazil will have two upcoming World Cup qualifiers, thus the two will be heading off to their separate national teams. When Real Madrid and Leganes meet on November 24, they will all be back together.
