Everyone is surprised by his level, and his level of efficiency up front.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe gets into the box, but today the shot [for the first goal] surprised us, he scored a stupendous goal\u2026 Right now he\u2019s the player who\u2019s making the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The England star now has 10 goals in 10 league appearances this season \u2014 making him the top scorer in the division \u2014 and 13 in all competitions after netting three in the Champions League.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe seems like a veteran, his attitude is very good,\u201d Ancelotti said. \u201cThe equaliser changed the dynamic completely, it meant more strength for us and more weakness for Barcelona, who had played better until then.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bellingham\u2019s midfield partner Luka Modric added to his boss\u2019 praise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know how to explain it,\u201d Modric said. \u201cHe\u2019s arrived and it feels like he\u2019s been here for a long time. He\u2019s fallen on his feet. We\u2019re all happy with his performance, his personality, what he\u2019s like.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt isn\u2019t a coincidence [what he\u2019s doing]. He\u2019s a top lad, an extraordinary talent. Even he can\u2019t believe the goals he\u2019s scoring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Madrid had struggled in the first half, failing to register a single shot on target.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told them you can lose these games but if we had to lose, we had to do it differently,\u201d Ancelotti said when asked about his half-time team talk. \u201cMore energy, more motivation, better in the duels.
