Jude Bellingham has explained just how good he feels at Real Madrid after netting three goals in his first two La Liga games.
In a week that saw reports emerge that those at Borussia Dortmund are ‘glad’ the teenager left the club, Bellingham netted a brace in Real Madrid’s 3-1 away win at Almeria, including an equaliser after Sergio Arribas had put the home side ahead.
The double came after he scored on his La Liga debut at Athletic Bilbao on August 12.
The Englishman has already endeared himself to the Los Blancos faithful and he’s clearly feeling better than ever.
Speaking to RealMadridTV after the game, Bellingham said:
“I’m ten times better than I was last season. I feel really comfortable with these players and I’m learning every day.
“The level here is so high and I’m like a sponge, taking in everything my teammates tell me.
“That’s why I’ve started the season so well. I have to keep helping the team.
“There are loads of games still to come and I have to keep contributing.”
It has certainly been a fast start for Bellingham at Madrid with even his manager, Carlo Ancelotti, surprised at how quickly he’s slotted into one of the best sides in the world.
