According to Madrid Universal, Real Madrid’s legendary attacking midfielder, Guti, hailed Bellingham as 'the most complete footballer' after he netted his first official goal in La Liga.

“Jude Bellingham is the most complete player in the game now. It’s good that he came when neither Benzema nor Mbappé was around.”

Bellingham joined Real Madrid at an astronomical fee of €103 million from Borussia Dortmund after three seasons with the Bundesliga giants and is expected to become one of the key players for Los Blancos in the near future.

Carlo Ancelotti delighted with Bellingham

Meanwhile, Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, has described Bellingham as 'outstanding' following the English midfielder’s commanding performance against Athletic Bilbao, Four Four Two reports.

The 19-year-old midfielder looked assured in his first competitive match for Los Blancos, winning tackles and driving forward in an all-action display, much to the admiration of his manager.

Ancelotti described Bellingham as a player with a lot of personality and hailed the Englishman for quickly adapting to the team’s system despite only joining Real Madrid this summer.

Bellingham scores on La Liga debut

Sports Brief also reported that Bellingham's debut in La Liga saw him double Real Madrid's lead against Athletic Bilbao during the first half.

He is one of the most expensive transfers in Europe this summer following his big-money move from Borussia Dortmund earlier this year.

19-year-old Bellingham was in the right place at the right time in the 36th minute when David Alaba's corner arrived in Bilbao's 18-yard box.
