Tough Times for Jude Bellingham
Jude Bellingham, who had a fantastic 2023–24 season as a Real Madrid rookie, is having a harder time this year because he hasn’t opened his goal total after nine games. With 23 goals and the team winning both La Liga and the Champions League, the 21-year-old England midfielder had a significant effect last season and was named a Ballon d’Or winner. But things haven’t started off so well for him in his second season at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Arrival of Mbappe Steals the Show
The emergence of Kylian Mbappe, the French sensation who has emerged as Real Madrid’s new attack focal point, is a major change for Bellingham this season. Some claim that because of the change in the dynamic between the two top players, Mbappe’s influence has “stolen” Bellingham’s chances to score goals. Bellingham had already surpassed ten goals by this time last season, but his current total is only zero.
’10 to Zero’ Comparative Analysis
The “10 to zero” rating highlights how Bellingham’s goal contributions have decreased since Mbappe’s arrival, because of the sharp contrast between last season’s blazing start and this year’s goal drought. Even if Bellingham’s midfield contributions are still significant, it appears that his position within the squad may have changed as Real Madrid adjusts to Mbappe’s arrival.
All eyes will be on Bellingham as the season goes on to see how he adapts to playing with the new Galactico and whether he can regain his scoring ability while sharing the limelight with one of the best forwards in the world.
