Bellingham vindicates himself with England to prove Madrid doubters wrong

Last season, Jude Bellingham gave a sweet anomaly: scoring 23 goals and providing 13 assists in 42 games. Real Madrid won the Champions League with the former Borussia Dortmund">Borussia Dortmund man's outstanding form, which justified, in record time, the €103 million that the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium outfit deposited in the Signal Iduna Park coffers.
In that period, Carlo Ancelotti did not receive a top-level striker to fill the void left by Karim Benzema when he signed for Al Ittihad, so he drew a diamond in his midfield with the Englishman playing up front on numerous occasions. Thanks to how well he adapted to this role, he emerged as one of the goalscoring references of the dressing room, which, combined with a groundbreaking Vinicius Junior or a legendary Toni Kroos, led to a successful campaign.
This season, with Kylian Mbappe in the ranks, the Stourbridge native has had to adapt to a more traditional demarcation for his past, which has reduced his scoring quota, although this is also the result of a disappointing start of 24-25 for the 'Merengues' in general. That is why, during this international break, it has been key that he was vindicated before the takeover of Thomas Tuchel in the 'three lions'.
In the match against Greece for Matchday 5 of the UEFA Nations League, he twice hit the post and played 98 minutes of quality to propel his side to a 3-0 win. It was a kind of revenge because, a month earlier, the Greeks had beaten the British at Wembley - curiously, with a Bellingham goal against them. A few days later, against Ireland, he delivered two assists and picked up the 'MVP' award, returning to Spain full of morale.
