Jude Bellingham is “not Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo” and cannot “win games by himself”, John Barnes has told GOAL, with the England and Real Madrid superstar considered to be more of a Bryan Robson-esque No.8 than a creative No.10. The all-action midfielder has often been pushed into a more advanced role, but his ability is maximised when operating in a deeper-lying berth.
Emmanuel Petit believes the "anger and ambition" Jude Bellingham showed at the World Cup should carry directly into his role at Real Madrid, urging Jose Mourinho to lean on both the England midfielder and Kylian Mbappe as genuine leaders as the club looks to rebuild around a stronger collective identity.
