Owen Hargreaves believes Jude Bellingham excels in crucial situations.

Valencia, Spain – Jude Bellingham of Real Madrid CF celebrated in style after scoring his team’s third goal, even though it didn’t register on the scoreboard due to the referee’s final whistle. The young midfielder has been receiving high praise from former footballers Owen Hargreaves and Peter Crouch for his exceptional performances in crucial moments.

Bellingham, who joined Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, has made an immediate impact in Spain, finding the back of the net 20 times in just 29 games. Under the guidance of manager Carlo Ancelotti, the 20-year-old has been deployed in an advanced midfield role, playing just behind the striker. Ancelotti himself has compared Bellingham to Brazilian legend Kaka.

However, Hargreaves, a pundit for TNT Sports, believes that while the two players may have similarities, Bellingham has always been ahead of the curve. Hargreaves stated, “Jude is obviously way more athletic, but I think Jude has been ahead of the curve his whole life. He was probably walking when he was three months old. The way he has taken to Real Madrid has been remarkable.”

Hargreaves also highlighted Bellingham’s ability to perform in big moments, stating, “I think Jude is at his best in the big moments. Jude delivers every time you watch him play, it’s amazing.” This sentiment was echoed by Peter Crouch, who believes that Bellingham’s performances at Real Madrid have elevated him to another level compared to his England teammates.

Crouch expressed, “The amount of goals he’s scored, everyone knew he had ability, to be a top player, but the way he has taken to it straight away. When there were other clubs sniffing around, I think Real Madrid puts you on another level. When you walk into an England dressing room and you’re playing for Real Madrid and you’re hitting the numbers he’s hitting, it takes you to another level.”

It is clear that Bellingham has embraced the challenge of playing for one of the world’s biggest clubs and has exceeded expectations. His performances in crucial moments and his goal-scoring prowess have made him a standout player in the eyes of both pundits and fans alike. As Bellingham continues to shine for Real Madrid, it is evident that he is on a path to greatness.
