The England midfielder has five goals in five games in La Liga, taking the Spanish top flight by storm after his 103 million euro ($110 million) move from Borussia Dortmund this summer.
BARCELONA - Jude Bellingham scored for Real Madrid on his debut, and in four of the five matches which have followed, in a superb start to life in the Spanish capital for the former Birmingham boy.
Madrid have started reducing minutes for their veteran players in midfield - Luka Modric and Toni Kroos - while allowing Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni and Fede Valverde more opportunities. Wearing the No 5 on his back in tribute to Zinedine Zidane, Bellingham has quickly become a fan favourite at Madrid.
"There's no other reason. A player with personality, above all, more than quality, means that an important shirt like Real Madrid's doesn't weigh so much."
