Jude Bellingham's remarkable debut season at Real Madrid shows no signs of slowing down, as the young midfielder once again showcased his talents with a goal and an assist in their away victory against Girona.

The English midfield sensation, who earned the Player of the Match title, played a pivotal role in securing a comfortable win for Carlo Ancelotti's side over the high-flying Girona.

Not content with just the assist, Bellingham himself added another goal to his impressive performance, further solidifying his status as a key player for Real Madrid. He later spoke to the media, shedding light on the inspiration behind his exceptional assist.

Bellingham speaks on trivela assist

When asked about the source of his inspiration for the incredible pass that led to Real Madrid's opening goal, the 20-year-old midfielder humorously responded, as quoted by Madrid Xtra:

"I've been watching Luka Modrić do that pass for the past three months (laughs)."

Bellingham's pass was reminiscent of Luka Modrić's iconic delivery during Real Madrid's 2021/22 UEFA Champions League quarterfinal match against Chelsea.

With seven goals and two assists to his name, according to Whoscored, Bellingham continues to be a crucial asset to Carlo Ancelotti's squad and is poised to contribute to Real Madrid's success in their upcoming UEFA Champions League clash against Napoli.

Bellingham backed to become English GOAT

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has made a daring statement about Jude Bellingham.

The retired footballer-turned-pundit believes that the Real Madrid midfielder has the potential to become the greatest English player of all time.

Neville's bold claim is based on Bellingham's impressive start to his career at the Santiago Bernabeu.
