At the San Mamés Stadium on Saturday, August 12, 2023, Real Madrid won their first La Liga match of the 2023–2024 campaign.
After Rodrygo Silva de Goes had scored for the away team at 28 minutes of the first half, Jude Bellingham doubled the lead at 36 minutes, securing their first away victory.
The astute editors at www.atspo.com have confirmed that English offensive midfielder Jude Bellingham exhibited traits reminiscent of legendary Real Madrid player Zinedine Zidane during his debut La Liga match.
The former Borussia Dortmund forward has joined English players Laurie Cunningham, Steve McManaman, and Michael Owen in scoring a La Liga goal for Real Madrid, becoming the first English player to do so since David Beckham in 2007.
Ancelotti’s team performed admirably away from home to defeat one of the league’s toughest opponents, and 20-year-old Jude Bellingham was blistering as a more versatile player than Zidane was at the same age.
The midfielder played a crucial role both in attack and defence during the game at San Mamés. He even managed to score a goal on his debut by shooting the ball into the net from Alaba’s corner kick. His performance was truly outstanding.
Jude sealed the show last Saturday night after he won the Man of the Match award for the clash, becoming the first Real Madrid player to win such an award in the new season, which is a good attempt to follow in the footsteps of Zinedine Zidane.
Bellingham shared his emotions after the game and how he has been able to adapt with his teammates at Real Madrid.
“This match was very special for me, and the most important thing is the victory. I was fortunate to score. It’s three points to start the season with,” Jude disclosed in his excitement.
Jude is now recognised by Real Madrid fans on social media as Zidane’s regen since he displayed traits of the French icon during his youth career with Los Blancos.
