Jude Bellingham<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jude Bellingham has said playing at the Bernab\u00e9u makes you \u201cfeel like a proper gladiator\u201d, as he reflected on his first six months at Real Madrid, and said he hopes to maintain his form at the club for \u201cmany seasons to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bellingham has scored 18 goals in 26 games for Madrid this season since joining from Borussia Dortmund last summer.<\/p>\n
Madrid travels to Getafe in LaLiga on Thursday, where a win would see them go two points clear of its rivals, Girona, at the top of the table.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou always know that Real Madrid is the biggest club in the world,\u201d Bellingham told Real Madrid TV<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cBut then it\u2019s just different when you actually get to experience it. Especially at the Bernab\u00e9u, with the new set-up and how it looks and everything, it\u2019s just unbelievable.<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s like playing at the Colosseum. You feel like a proper gladiator. It\u2019s just so cool; you just don\u2019t understand how big the club is.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere isn\u2019t anywhere you can go where people don\u2019t recognise you. Sometimes it\u2019s a good thing and sometimes it\u2019s a bad thing.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou just realise it\u2019s that step up in class, in everything really. But also the flipside when you come into training every day, the players are always quite calm, the coach is really calm. It\u2019s a good environment to work in, and express yourself and be creative with your football,\u201d Bellingham added.<\/p>\n
Bellingham\u2019s performances for Madrid have seen him win the 2023 Golden Boy Award for Europe\u2019s best player under the age of 21, as well as the Ballon d\u2019Or Kopa trophy for the world\u2019s best under-21 footballer.<\/p>\n
He had a record-breaking start to life in Spain, scoring 14 goals in his first 15 Madrid games, surpassing the tallies of club legends, Alfredo Di Stefano and Cristiano Ronaldo.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel at home in the city. My family are comfortable. I\u2019ve had friends over who\u2019ve really enjoyed the city. The fans are really respectful, they treat me so nicely, which I\u2019m really grateful for, and obviously with the team and the staff, I feel like I\u2019ve been here for years,\u201d Bellingham said.<\/p>\n
