Jude Bellingham was expected to be one of Real Madrid’s key figures this season—but the English midfielder has fallen short of expectations. According to Marca, club officials are disappointed with his overall impact compared to his explosive debut campaign in 2023–2024.
Solid Stats, But Below the Standard
With 8 goals in 30 La Liga matches, Bellingham’s numbers are decent, but not reflective of a player seen as the future of the club. Beyond his stats, concerns have grown over his on-field attitude, with moments of frustration and tension replacing the calm leadership the club had hoped for.
Xabi Alonso’s First Challenge
Incoming head coach Xabi Alonso will have the task of reigniting Bellingham’s form, possibly by adjusting his role within a new tactical setup. Madrid’s hierarchy still believes in the 21-year-old’s talent—but expect him to step up and fully embrace his role as the midfield leader of this new era.
All eyes will be on Alonso and Bellingham to restore the spark—before the critics grow louder.
