That assist? I’ve been watching Modric every day for three months now, Bellingham said, smiling at the incredible pass that entertained fans in Spain

Jude Bellingham entertains football fans all over the world with his football and the position under the strikers suits him. At the weekend, he contributed to Real Madrid’s victory over Girona in the battle for the La Liga title with another outstanding performance.

It was the transfer of the summer in Spain and all fans were looking forward to his performances on the pitch. But few expected him to make such a big impact in the star-studded Real Madrid squad and even top the La Liga scorers’ table after eight league rounds.

Jude Bellingham is surpassing all expectations, not only of Real Madrid fans. In the summer transfer window he moved for an astronomical sum of 103 million euros. But the management of the Spanish giant has no need to regret the amount spent.

Still only 20 years old, Bellingham is dragging Los Blancos team and scoring important goals. In the white jersey, he has scored an incredible seven goals in eight games, to which he has added two assists.

The England international was also a central figure in the battle for the La Liga title at the weekend. In it, the star player of Real Madrid was welcomed at home by the Girona team that amazes the football world not only in Spain.

The football midget from Catalonia ruled the Spanish La Liga table before the last league round. The match with Real Madrid thus somewhat surprisingly promised to be the showpiece of the round, considering that Barcelona hosted Sevilla on Friday.

In the end, Real Madrid clearly dominated the match 0:3 and it was Jude Bellingham who was the man of the match. He assisted one goal and then closed the scoring himself at the end of the match.

It was the assist on Joselu’s first goal that stood up to the highest standard and went viral on social media. The beautiful outside-foot pass seemed to bring to mind Luka Modric, who saved Real from being knocked out of the millionaire Champions League in the quarter-final rematch with Chelsea in the 2021/2022 season with a similar assist.

And it was his Croatian teammate he was referring to when asked about his magnificent assist against Girona. “That assist? I’ve been watching Modric every day for three months now,” Bellingham replied, according to Real Madrid News’ Twitter/X account, smiling.

“I just want to be creative. It was a good goal because we prevented them from putting pressure on us at the beginning of the game,” he said of the importance of scoring the first goal on the hot Girona pitch.
