Press in Spain was especially harsh on Jude Bellingham after Real Madrid’s embarrassing 4-0 loss at home to Barcelona.
This season, Bellingham still hasn’t scored a goal for Real. That’s a big change from his first season with the club, when he scored 23 goals across all categories.
While playing against Barcelona, the England player really wanted to score but couldn’t because his team lost badly.
All four of Barcelona’s goals came in the second half. Robert Lewandowski scored twice, and then Lamine Yamal and Raphinha made things worse for Real Madrid.
Marca thinks there is only one person to blame for Bellingham’s problems.
Marca says that Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, is to blame for not putting Bellingham in the right place.
The newspaper said that Bellingham’s work ethic couldn’t be questioned, but they also pointed out that he is sometimes playing as a full-back, which isn’t helping his games.
As Juan Ignacio Garcia-Ochoa wrote in Marca, Bellingham is not the same player who made a big splash last season at The Bernabeu. And it’s not his fault; it’s how he’s being handled.
