Jude Bellingham Lays Words Of Praise For New-Signing Kylian Mbappe
Jude Bellingham was delighted after the full-time whistle, as the Englishman is enjoying a stellar start to his Real Madrid career, which has now seen him win the La Liga, UEFA Champions League, and now the UEFA Super Cup.
As reported by Goal, Jude Bellingham had the following to say for Kylian Mbappe:
"I think it shows the intent and the mentality of the team When straight after you win the biggest prize there is, you want to go add a player like him... It's the definition of Real Madrid, that kind of signing."
"The way he played today is unbelievable, he is amazing to play with and he has been a great teammate so far. We just want to enjoy getting to understand each other's rhythm, and hopefully, assisting and scoring more goals."
"It's brilliant playing with him and [Vinicius Jr] but it's difficult sometimes. You've only got two seconds cause they are both gone. I saw him do the feint and I just thought I'd leave him the area and he finishes like he always does. It's a joy to see up close."
