At the age of 20, Jude Bellingham has become one of the best young players in the world when he was just named La Liga Player of the Year for the 2023/24 season.

The English player joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2023 for a record transfer fee of 120 million euros. This is a long-term investment by the Royal Spanish football team, to find a worthy successor for legends like Luka Modrić, Toni Kroos or Casemiro.

And Bellingham did not disappoint the expectations of Real Madrid’s leadership. He quickly became a mainstay in coach Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, with impressive playing style and productivity in both defense and attack.

 

 

In 42 La Liga matches this season, Bellingham scored 11 goals and had 15 assists – respectable numbers considering this player’s tender age. He showed excellent ability to convert opportunities and also created many opportunities for his teammates to score.

Besides his positive contributions on the offensive side, Bellingham also played an important role in stabilizing Real Madrid’s defensive framework. He is always someone who has great contributions at both ends of the field, constantly imposing the tempo and controlling the game.

 

It is these outstanding qualities that have helped Bellingham become the most popular player in the eyes of Real Madrid fans this season. He surpassed prominent names such as Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo or Éder Militão to win the title of Best Player of the tournament.

This is not only a proud personal achievement for Bellingham but also a testament to Real Madrid’s correct investment when recruiting this young star. At the age of 20, he has demonstrated impressive leadership qualities, maturity and adaptability to professional football.

 

With outstanding talent and potential, Bellingham promises to become one of Real Madrid’s most important players for many years to come. He is expected to continue to develop and mature to become a pillar not only at the club level but also in the England team.

 

 

Winning the La Liga Player of the Year award at the age of 20 also brought Bellingham to a new level. He is gradually asserting his position as one of the top young stars in the world today. If he continues to maintain his form, Bellingham can completely become a candidate for more prestigious individual awards in the near future.
