AC Milan veteran Luka Modric has opened up on his admiration for Real Madrid’s current crop of superstars, admitting he saw something special in Jude Bellingham from the moment he arrived. The Croatian maestro, who enjoyed a trophy-laden decade at the Bernabeu, remains a keen observer of the talent currently lighting up the Spanish capital.
An emotional return to Birmingham for Jude Bellingham is not being ruled out, although former Blues boss Steve Bruce has told GOAL that it could be a “long, long time” before such a move is considered. The No.22 shirt at St Andrew’s, which has been retired, is waiting to be filled again by a home-grown hero that is currently starring as a ‘Galactico’ with Real Madrid.
Jude Bellingham produced a masterclass at the Bernabeu as Real Madrid dismantled Malaga to maintain their flawless start to the La Liga campaign. The England international was the catalyst for a dominant 4-0 victory that keeps Jose Mourinho’s side at the summit of the table.
Jude Bellingham has credited new Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho for helping him rediscover his best form after a frustrating two-year spell. The England midfielder believes a tactical tweak has given him the licence to roam, allowing him to pull the strings in the Spanish capital once more. He is determined to carry this early momentum into the upcoming European campaign.
