A Spanish news source says that JUDE BELLINGHAM has “declined” since Kylian Mbappe joined Real Madrid.
The 21-year-old had a great first season at Real Madrid, helping the team win both the Champions League and LaLiga.
In 42 games for Real Madrid, he set up 36 goals, making him one of the most important players for the team.
But the Spanish newspaper AS says Bellingham has “declined” this season.
Since the beginning of the season, the playmaker has only set up two goals in seven games.
He hasn’t scored yet.
In his first seven games of the season last year, he scored six goals and set up two others.
Mbappe, a striker who used to play for Paris Saint-Germain, moved to Real Madrid for free this summer, which has changed Bellingham’s role in Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
The England star now plays a little lower, which limits how much he can help the attack.
In spite of this, AS says it has hurt his game.
A well-known Spanish newspaper recently wrote, “In Bellingham’s case, the decline is much more palpable: he has only two assists, without goals, in seven games played.”
“He scored six goals in seven games last season.” You shouldn’t directly compare these numbers because his job has changed since Mbappe came in, but the Englishman is still looking for his best midfielder form.
Real Madrid was shocked when Lille beat them 1-0 on Wednesday.
A new sign Mbappe came off the bench to start the game and was brought on in the second half.
He tried to make a difference, but failed.
There was a lot going on, and it wasn’t our best game. We need to clear our minds,” Ancelotti said after the game.
“It looked like we were getting better, but this game made us go backwards.”
“Lille has done better than us.” We need some attention and some constructive feedback.
