Real Madrid’s galactico signing, Jude Bellingham continues to draw plaudits from fans and teammates alike following his amazing start to the 2023/24 season.

Since completing his transfer to the Spanish capital, the 20-year-old midfielder has seen his stock grow significantly and he carried his stellar form into the national team.

Last month (September 12), Bellingham replicated his performances for Real Madrid to lead Gareth Southgate’s national team to a 3-1 victory over rivals, Scotland.

Bellingham’s vision and deftness were instrumental again as the Three Lions concluded a flourishing performance, moving closer to their Euro 2024 qualifying ambition.

The midfielder’s first-half strike off a mistake from Liverpool’s Andy Robertson silenced the Scottish fans at Hampden and put the Euro finalists in the driving seat.

As reported by the BBC, a second-half own goal by embattled Man United defender, Harry Maguire appeared to rekindle the hopes of Steve Clark’s Scotland.

However, Bellingham had other ideas as he provided his captain, Harry Kane with a sizzling assist to ensure England wrapped up the win without any real hassles.
