Rio Ferdinand says that Jude Bellingham at Real Madrid looks like “the big kid in the playground.”

In Madrid’s Super Cup win, England’s best playmaker finally got to play with Mbappe.

In Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Atalanta in the Uefa Super Cup, Rio Ferdinand said Jude Bellingham “looked like the big kid in the playground.” Bellingham plays for Real Madrid.

Federico Valverde and Kylian Mbappe, who was making his debut, scored goals that put an end to any thoughts that Italy could pull off an upset at the National Stadium in Warsaw.

It was the first time that Madrid fans had seen Bellingham, Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., and Rodrygo play together as what is probably the best attacking group in the world.

Fans were happy with Mbappe’s first goal, but Ferdinand thought Bellingham really shone, taking advantage of the space his new teammate made.

“All Real Madrid fans wanted was for Mbappe to score,” Ferdinand said on TNT Sports. “This team now has what might be the best player in the world.”

“There is a hunger because there are so many young people.” People who are hungry are being added. At this point, Mbappe needs to show what he can do. He has been good, but not here. A lot of these players have a lot to show.

“Bellingham did absolutely amazing work in the eighth spot.” He had a huge effect on people. It looks like they work well together, which is bad news for everyone else. The fact that teams will have to double up on Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. makes room for Bellingham. Today on the field, he looked like a big kid.
