Jude Bellingham told he's settled quicker at Real Madrid than Cristiano Ronaldo with England star 'destroying' La Liga this season

Real Madrid

The England international has taken La Liga by storm ever since he joined Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund last summer. The midfielder has enjoyed a rich vein of form in his debut campaign having scored 20 goals and provided nine assists in 31 matches thus far.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Now La Liga pundit Andrea Orlandi has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jude-bellingham-cristiano-ronaldo-real-madrid-103m-staggering-new-club-record-14th-goal-cadiz/bltfda3c2379244a56d" target="_blank">drawn comparisons between Bellingham and Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo</a> by claiming that the English star settled quicker at Los Blancos than the Portuguese great.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Speaking to the <a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/jude-bellingham-ronaldo-real-madrid-32387165" target="_blank">Daily Star</a>, Orlandi said, "Yes, he (Ronaldo) did score quite a lot of goals when he joined the club, but you could see that wasn’t the real him up until a couple of months. With Bellingham, it was from pre-season, his first game I think he scored. And then in La Liga, it was the same. I knew he’d be very good but I thought in three or four years. He comes here and just destroys the league really and decides to be the best player. And in a club where Vinicius is there, Rodrygo, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, he’s gone ‘I’m the best’."When asked about the player's trademark overstretched arms celebration, Orlandi added, "I call it football arrogance. You can see he’s down to earth but the way he celebrates, ‘I’m Jude Bellingham, I’m here to make the difference’. I love that. And you need to have that if you want to be playing for Real Madrid at the level he’s playing."Without him, Real Madrid is not the same team. They can still manage to win games, but they don’t have the star player who basically understands every situation that’s happening on the pitch – and that’s very difficult. To have that football intelligence and then with that body, being so strong, big, that technical ability as well. He’s got absolutely everything. He’s got the number five of Zinedine Zidane, he’s just signed for Real Madrid for big money, he’s got huge expectations on him and he just turns up and plays like he’s with his mates on a Sunday. So that tells you how big his personality is. England has a star."

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

The 20-year-old will be back in action for Carlo Ancelotti's side on Sunday as they take on Athletic Club in La Liga at Santiago Bernabeu.
