Is He the Next Cristiano? Barça Fans Concerned as Madrid Star Gains Support for Ballon d’Or

Several Barcelona fans are breaking ranks to throw their support behind Real Madrid’s summer acquisition, Jude Bellingham, as a top contender for the Ballon d’Or Kopa Trophy, despite having some of their own players on the shortlist.

Comments from passionate Barça supporters on social media and fan forums reflect their admiration for Bellingham’s outstanding performances:

1. aadenusi adeshina: “It’s Jude Bellingham’s award. His stats supersede everyone here. Even as a Barça fan, let’s not be sentimental.”
2. sammie23: “Balde could have easily claimed this award, but sadly, he hasn’t started where he left off last season. Mr. Jude with his magical form will seize it.”
3. barcelonafan1622: “It’s Bellingham, without a doubt.”
4. Bleed Barcelona: “He idolized Lionel Messi, and when you idolize Lionel Messi, you are destined to be a great player, irrespective of the team you play for.”
5. Your.Secret: “As a Barcelona fan, I’m a little worried. Is Jude Bellingham the new Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid?”

While acknowledging the uniqueness of Cristiano Ronaldo, these fans highlight Bellingham’s remarkable performances since joining Real Madrid. In just four La Liga games, the 20-year-old midfielder has already scored five goals and provided one assist, making a compelling case for the Ballon d’Or Kopa Trophy, which recognizes the best young player in the world.
