ο»ΏWhen fans saw the boots that Jude Bellingham was wearing last night, they went crazy.
With his goal in the 4-2 Champions League triumph over Napoli, the English sensation created even more history.
The 20-year-old also received recognition for preventing Joselu from expressing regret to the supporters after a string of misses when he eventually registered a goal after his assist.
With his header yesterday, Bellingham made history by becoming the first player to score for Madrid in each of his first four Champions League outings.
In the competition’s history, he is also only the fourth player to score ten goals before turning 21.
In June, the former midfield player for Birmingham City moved to the Spanish powerhouses from Borussia Dortmund for Β£115 million.
He has also had an incredible start to life in Spain, scoring 15 goals in his first 16 games for Los Blancos.
Because of this, he has drawn comparisons to the great Zinedine Zidane of Real Madrid, who was present on Wednesday to watch his possible successor in action.
And after supporters noticed Bellingham’s shoes versus Napoli, such parallels intensified.
For the Bernabeu match, the young player wore unreleased Adidas Predator boots, which are reminiscent of the boots Zidane wore in his prime.
Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool, who just signed a contract with the apparel giants to join his colleague on their all-star squad, also had them on for his equalizer against Manchester City this past Saturday.
Bellingham has already claimed the No. 5 shirt at Madrid, which Zidane made renowned.
He is currently wearing very identical boots as the legendary Adidas Predator boot gets ready to celebrate 30 years of existence by teasing the debut of a new version of the shoe, which has been worn by players like Steven Gerrard, David Beckham, and Jay Z.
And as soon as keen-eyed admirers noticed Bellingham wearing them, they swiftly took to social media.
“Following Zidane’s footsteps,” one person wrote.
“Jude Bellingham’s boots are giving us Zidane 1998 World Cup vibes,” another person commented.
Another person remarked, “This is poetry,” and then, “Jude Bellingham dropped a masterclass wearing these boots with the number 5 shirt while Zinedine Zidane was watching.”
“Wearing no. 5 jersey, Adidas Predator boots,” remarked a fellow fan. What more is there?
“A reinvention of Zidane, the legendary figure. Jude Bellingham is becoming quite the legend.
“Number five on the back, rocking the retro Adidas boots that Zinedine Zidane wore,” one person said, while another Jude Bellingham is making Real Madrid go backwards.
