Comparing LaLiga star Jude Bellingham to Real Madrid greats

Related Topics: Jude Bellingham, Real Madrid

Jude Bellingham's debut season in LaLiga couldn't have gone much better. He's been the standout player in Spain's best team, a Real Madrid side who now find themselves six points clear at the top of the LaLiga table and among the favourites to lift the Champions League trophy, hosting RB Leipzig in Tuesday's round-of-16 second leg.

Bellingham's brace in Madrid's 4-0 thrashing of title rivals Girona on Feb. 10 -- a game that also saw the midfielder pick up an ankle sprain that's kept him out of action for three weeks, in one of the few setbacks he's faced this season -- made it 16 league goals this campaign, and 20 goals in all competitions.
