Former Real Madrid striker, Michael Owen has hailed midfielder, Jude Bellingham for his impressive performances for La Liga champions.

Bellingham, 21, arrived at Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund last summer.

He has enjoyed a sparkling debut campaign at Santiago Bernabeu, registering 23 goals and 13 assists in 42 games across competitions.

Nineteen of those goals and six assists came in 28 outings in La Liga – which Los Blancos won for a record-extending 36th time.

Bellingham also contributed four goals and five assists in 11 outings in the UEFA Champions League.

Owen lavished praise on him, telling Four Four Two, “Jude quickly elevated himself into one of the world’s great players, for club and country.

“Playing for a club like Real Madrid isn’t easy when all eyes are on you and every poor performance is pounced upon; if you can respond to that and stay at the highest level, then you belong with the best in the world.

“He’s incredible. At Real, he has developed that big-game energy, that swagger, that attitude. We saw it for England at Euro 2024 as well.”
