  • Vinicius Junior has compared Jude Bellingham with Cristiano Ronaldo
  • Bellingham won MVP as Real Madrid won 2-0 against Barcelona
  • The England midfielder has scored 13 goals in 13 games for Real Madrid

Jude Bellingham is already being compared with the Real Madrid legends despite playing only 13 games for the Spanish giants since his big summer transfer from Borussia Dortmund.

The 20-year-old midfielder stole the show again as Los Blancos came from behind to earn an important 2-1 win against Barcelona as he scored both goals for Carlo Ancelotti’s men.

According to GOAL, Vinicius has now hailed the impact Bellingham has had since arrival at Real Madrid, liking his impact to that of club legend and five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.

Incredible, he always makes a difference, the fans were used to Cristiano and Jude has now arrived for us. We are a lot of young players, we are always together on and off the field. This creates unity and makes us a good team that wants to improve and win a lot of things."

Bellingham had previously eclipsed Ronaldo's record of having the most amount of goal contributions at the Madrid-based club after 10 appearances, with 13 goals in as many matches in all competitions.

Toni Kroos' reaction to Bellingham’s screamer

Meanwhile, Toni Kroos appeared not to be impressed with Jude Bellingham’s equaliser for Real Madrid after the 20-year-old blasted in a screamer from over 25 yards in El Clasico, Sport Bible reports.

Whilst most of the Madrid substitutes celebrated wildly, the German midfield maestro chose to casually sit and applaud in utter calmness, a reaction that has since gone viral on social media.

Since his £88 million move from Borussia Dortmund during the summer transfer window, Bellingham has had a spectacular start to life in the Spanish capital, scoring 13 goals in his first 13 appearances for the Spanish giants.

Erling Haaland salutes Jude Bellingham

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Jude Bellingham stole the headlines again as Real Madrid came from behind to defeat arch-rivals Barcelona in the first El Clasico of the season, causing Manchester City forward Erling Haaland to react.

The 20-year-old midfielder took matters into his own hands in the second half after Madrid had trailed to a Gundogan goal early on, driving Los Blancos level from a long-range shot.

Bellingham would go on to secure a 2-1 victory for Carlo Ancelotti’s men in added time, ghosting in unmarked to poke the winner beyond Marc Andre Stergen, much to the delights of his former teammate Erling Haaland.
