How Jude Bellingham could save Madrid's season in Clásico

Related Topics: Jude Bellingham, Madrid

The trouble with being blessed with the special level of anticipation that Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham possesses is that it's not just assists, goal opportunities and defensive gaps you can spot coming, but also the ugly threat from which your team is going to suffer during a difficult upcoming season.

Last year, the England midfielder was a classic hero figure for Madrid: he came, he saw, he conquered. Their hero of the Clásicos too, he scored, they won, they celebrated. Bellingham put Barcelona to the sword: three matches, one assist, two added-time winning goals, and three trophies (LaLiga, Spanish Supercopa and Champions League) to show for it.
