Jude Bellingham has become the best player in the world less than six months after signing for Real Madrid. Only three years ago he was playing for Birmingham City in the Championship.
As Seb Stafford-Bloor writes, Bellingham’s ascent has been rapid, but his evolving role in many different systems and under different managers have given him the tools to be elite at Real Madrid.
Illustrated by Marco Bevilacqua.

He’s definitely not the best player I the world in the sense that Haaland isn’t considered the best player in the world.
WHAT IN THE ENGLISH BIAS/PROPAGANDA IS THIS TITLE 😂💀 RELAX TIFO
Two good months in La Farmer's + still not a league, or cup winner- "best player in the world overnight"….
Sorry, but I have to comment even before the video as the premise is flawed. He already was the best, but joined a team, which is just so much stronger that his abilities could be channeled more to the type of play required of him now
It's still ridiculous. It has nothing to do with Bellingham's talent.
kane is better
A bit sad Muisala didnt won the golden boy, but Bellingham is deffinetly alredy one of the best.
'Best player'? Says who? Best PR maybe. He wasn't even top 10 in Ballon d'Or.
???? World's best player? World's best english real madrid player at most
The PR goes crazy
harry kane is the best player in the world
The spainish league is 💩 that's why he looks so great
5:35 Maybe I don't know football but the #4 is not a midfield position last time I checked so it should be 6+8+10=24.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong….
He looks goat because KDB is injured. That is all.
Overrated = English Players. They over hyping is cringe at this point.
That guy has a badass name.
…did he actually say "Alex Witsel"???? IT'S AXEL!
Musiala logged in.
The boy is doing good…. but media hype some times leads to Deli Ali type declines. Let the boy enjoy his football. To say he is currently the best player in the world i think is a stretch & puts needless unrealistic expectations & pressures on him.
Remember Deli Ali boys?
Idk ab over night. I was watching him do wonders at bvb. He’s in form but it isn’t a surprise, class player through and through
Bellingham might have the most consistent and over the top PR campaign from every corner of the english media thats ever been. You would think he was at the level of a young r9 the way people talk about him.
Dude was already a great player in DORTMUND
Easy. He joined another farmers league
Im sad he didn’t take the number 22 in madrid. The honor of carrying Zidane’s 5 must’ve been too strong
It might sound counterintuitive but if Madrid get a good No.9, this may allow Bellingham to move back to his more traditional midfield role (goals and assists may not as be as rampant anymore) but this may even make Madrid a stronger team.
He's clearly NOT
Harry Kane far far clear but tifo absolutely despises Bayern so I get it
