Real Madrid Icon Guti Names Jude Bellingham as the Best Player in the World

Real Madrid legend and current pundit Guti has voiced what many Madridistas have been thinking: Jude Bellingham is currently the best player in the world.

While Lionel Messi appears poised to clinch the Ballon d’Or, Bellingham may emerge as the favorite for next year’s edition based on his exceptional current form. In just 12 games for Real Madrid, Bellingham has notched an impressive 11 goals and provided 3 assists. When asked about the best player in the world, Guti didn’t hesitate to respond, saying, “Bellingham, no doubt.”

Guti supported his claim by highlighting that Bellingham can excel both as a midfielder and as a forward. He noted, “I think to talk about the best in the world, we have to consider what is happening right now. He’s not only competing with the midfielders; right now, he’s also competing with the forwards.”

While the Ballon d’Or often leans toward goal-scorers, Guti acknowledged that Bellingham’s consistent performance over the entire year will be crucial for his award prospects. Bellingham’s seamless transition to Real Madrid has been nothing short of remarkable, and there is little dispute in Spain that he has been the standout player in La Liga this season, further strengthening his case for individual accolades.
