Rio Ferdinand calls Jude Bellingham ‘the big kid in the playground’ at Real Madrid.

England’s great midfielder finally played alongside Mbappe in Madrid’s Super Cup success.

Madrid’s aɬɬacking strength is even more frightening when you consider Brazilian wonderkid Endrick, who scored the winner against England at Wembley in April, didn’t even make it onto the pitch

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

Federico Valverde and Kylian Mbappe scored to end any chances of an Italian surprise at the National Stadium in Warsaw.

Madrid fans had never seen Bellingham, Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., and Rodrygo form the world’s strongest oʄʄensive quartet.

Fans were thrilled by Mbappe’s debut goal, but Ferdinand believed Bellingham shined in his new role.

Ferdinand told TNT Sports, “Mbappe getting his goal is what all Real Madrid fans wanted.” One of the world’s top players has joined this team.

“They’re hungry because of their youth. They’re adding hungry players. No matter his skill, Mbappe must prove himself here. Many of these athletes have much to prove.

Bellingham was great at eight. His influence was great. They appear to be a team, which is bad for everyone. Teams must double Mbappe and Vinicius Jr., giving Bellingham more space. Today he appeared like a playground big kid.”

Madrid’s attacking strength is even more dangerous since Brazilian wonderkid Endrick, who scored the winner against England at Wembley in April, didn’t play. The European champions showed their might by bringing on Arda Guler, the talented Turkish youth whose goal against Georgia lit up Euro 2024.

Bellingham led the squad to a treble in his debut season at the Bernabeu with several match-winning performances. He entered Ballon d’Or contention with Vinicius after scoring 23 and assisting 11 in La Liga and the Champions League.

England reached the Euro 2024 final with a last-minute overhead ƙɿck against Slovenia thanks to the midfielder. to keep Southgate’s team in the competition.

With Mbappe, Bellingham may thrive more. A “dream” move to Madrid on a free transfer this summer was made by the former Paris Saint-Germain forward.

The 25-year-old Frenchman has scored at least 27 league goals in each of his last four seasons and will want to improve in his new venture.

Bellingham and Madrid start their Spanish title defense at Mallorca on Sunday to set the tone for the season.
