Bellingham’s rapid rise as one of the world’s top players has been nothing short of remarkable. Following his high-profile transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid, the England sensation has made a significant impact. With 14 goals and three assists in 18 La Liga matches, Bellingham has caught the attention of football fans worldwide. Not only has he been honored with the Golden Boy award and the Kopa Trophy, but his performances have also impressed Fabio Capello, who believes that Bellingham should be part of any future discussions regarding the prestigious Ballon d’Or.
Capello expressed his admiration for Bellingham while discussing potential successors to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, specifically Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland. However, Capello emphasized that Bellingham should not be overlooked, stating, “No, no, and Bellingham. For me, the two footballers who are going to follow in the footsteps of Messi and Cristiano are Mbappe and Bellingham.”
Continuing his praise, the former Real Madrid manager highlighted Bellingham’s versatility and exceptional abilities, describing him as a truly complete player who performs at an exceptionally high level. Capello marveled at Bellingham’s unique skills, including his extraordinary passes and exceptional on-field decision-making. Already surpassing records set by Ronaldo during his debut season at Madrid, Bellingham has expressed his desire for more titles, goals, and victories in 2024. Rumors suggest that Bellingham may soon be joined by Mbappe in the Spanish capital, and there have also been reports of his efforts to recruit Haaland to Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
