Getty ImagesTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Bellingham's influence at Madrid is not just being felt on the pitch but off it too. The 20-year-old has stunned his team-mates with the amount of goals he has scored but has also impressed with the composure and maturity he has shown after taking up a challenge in a new league and a new country. Former Madrid star Steve McManaman is one of the few other England players to have thrived at Real Madrid and has hailed Bellingham's influence at the Santiago Bernabeu.

GOAL/GettyWHAT NEXT FOR BELLINGHAM
Real Madrid take on Cadiz next in La Liga before hosting Bayern Munich in the second leg of their Champions League tie with the fixture currently locked at 2-2. Bellingham was taken off in the first leg at the Allianz Arena after struggling physically but will be expected to play a key role at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.
