BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Jude Bellingham has surpassed all expectations since arriving at Real Madrid by scoring big goal after big goal to keep his team with a perfect six wins across all competitions.
Bellingham has scored in all but one of his appearances with Madrid. The 20-year-old England midfielder will now face his first derby on Sunday at Atletico Madrid in the Spanish league when the hosts will aim to stop him increasing his tally of six goals in as many games.
“This goal is similar to the one against Getafe, but you have to be there,” Ancelotti said about his new star's goal against Berlin. “He’s smarter than others when attacking from the second line. He has this quality and he’s making the most of it.” Diego Simeone’s team was flying high after dealing Rayo Vallecano a 7-0 defeat on the road last month. But since returning from the international break, Atletico has slumped to a 3-0 loss at Valencia and drew 1-1 at Lazio in its Champions League opener after the opposing goalkeeper equalized with a stoppage-time header.
The Portugal forward has scored three goals in his first two appearances for Barcelona, including a double to help beat Antwerp 5-0 in the Champions League this week.
