Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé has moved to reveal his appreciation for the talents of a fellow member of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.
The player in question? Jude Bellingham.
Midfielder Bellingham of course took his place front and centre in the headlines across Spain once more on Saturday night.
This came owing to a Man of the Match display conjured up by the Englishman, in Real Madrid’s La Liga downing of Girona.
En route to an eventual 3-0 Blancos triumph, Bellingham opened the scoring in proceedings, before laying on an assist for Arda Güler, too.
Post-match, praise, in turn, quickly came pouring in for the 21-year-old, who has rediscovered his brilliant best form over recent weeks.
And, as alluded to above, amongst those to have been left thoroughly impressed by the exploits of his teammate over the course of the 90 minutes at the Estadi Montilivi was Kylian Mbappé.
Speaking to the media in the game’s aftermath, frontman Mbappé, who rounded out the scoring on Saturday, gushed:
“Playing with Jude Bellingham is incredible, it’s a pleasure every single time. He had a great game and it’s amazing to share the pitch with Jude”.
