Luka Modric: Jude Bellingham’s Astonishing Impact at Real Madrid
Luka Modric expressed his amazement at Jude Bellingham’s extraordinary impact on the Real Madrid team this season. Bellingham, who arrived at Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, has been nothing short of sensational, particularly thriving in an advanced midfield role.
However, it was his pivotal role in Real Madrid’s 2-1 El Clasico victory over Barcelona that elevated his status even further, leaving Modric in awe. Bellingham, just 20 years old, capitalized on a poor clearance to unleash a brilliant second-half equalizer. He then capitalized on a flick from Modric to poke home the winning goal, sealing a remarkable double in Catalonia and bringing his season goal tally to an impressive 13.
Modric, visibly impressed by Bellingham’s performance, shared his thoughts: “I don’t know how to explain what’s happening with Jude. It seems like he’s been here for a long time. It’s no coincidence that he’s adapted so well. He’s a top guy, an extraordinary talent. I don’t think even he believes the goals he’s scoring. Now he can’t stop!”
Real Madrid is set to face a local derby at home against Rayo Vallecano on November 5, with Barcelona taking on Real Sociedad on the road the day before, in what promises to be an exciting period for La Liga football.
