  • Jude Bellingham is the best player in La Liga based on current form
  • He has scored ten goals in all competitions, which has garnered him rave reviews

Jude Bellingham has made a phenomenal start at Real Madrid this season. After 10 appearances, he has scored 10 goals in all competitions and is the leading goalscorer in La Liga.

Real Madrid and Ukraine goalkeeper Andriy Lunin recently lauded the Englishman but claimed he hasn't scored past him in training.

The 20-year-old joined the Spanish giants from Borussia Dortmund in the summer for 103 million Euros and made a sensational start at the club.

Speaking to El Chiringuito via GOAL, Lunin praised the England international but joked that he couldn't score against him in training.

"Jude Bellingham is an alien. Arriving at the best club in the world at 20 years old, scoring in every game, giving assists, influencing the games and the score. This is all out of this world. In training? Jude doesn’t score against me, I save his shots. It seems the only place he doesn’t score is during training, the goalkeepers are not capable of doing it during the official games.”

Fans will need some witnesses to prove Lunin's claims, and we'll need to hear Bellingham's side of the story too.

Bellingham has scored 10 goals in 10 appearances this season, becoming an important player under Carlo Ancelotti, per Transfermarkt.

Haaland, Vinicius, Modric laud Bellingham

Earlier, Sports Brief earlier reported on Erling Haaland, Vinicius Junior, and Luka Modric, applauding Bellingham for his superb performance against Osasuna.

The England international posted a photo after the game, and his comments section was filled with players lauding him for his performance.

He is on track to have a historic first season at Real Madrid if he continues with these performances.

Bellingham clinches another award

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Jude Bellingham continues to silence his critics while consistently impressing fans in the heart of the Spanish capital.

The former Borussia Dortmund sensation, whose high-profile move from the German club was initially met with scepticism, has seamlessly integrated into the ranks of Los Blancos.

His string of explosive showings in the Spanish capital earned him both the La Liga Player of the Month and Real Madrid Player of the Month awards in his inaugural month at Los Blancos.
