Jude Bellingham has been praised by Vinicius Jr after he won the game for Madrid against Barca and compared him to Cristiano Ronaldo.
While Vinicius Jr thinks that he can be compared to Cristiano Ronaldo, the stats show that Bellingham is even better than CR7.
Bellingham has had a better start to his Real Madrid career when compared to Ronaldo who joined the Spanish side in 2009.
Ronaldo, who joined Madrid at 24, moved to Santiago Bernabeu as a Ballon d’Or winner but statistics have shown the Englishman has a better start.
Jude Bellingham, 20, scored a brace in his first El Clasico match, a 25-yard screamer, and a last-gasp winner to gift Madrid the win.
Speaking on the Englishman’s heroics, Vinicius Jr said: “Bellingham is incredible, he always makes a difference and the fans got used to Cristiano Ronaldo and now one more has arrived for us.”
Ronaldo, now 38, arrived at Real Madrid in a then-world record £80million transfer from Manchester United in 2009.
The Al-Nassr man had already won a Ballon d’Or, won the Champions League and three Premier League titles when he turned up at the Bernabeu.
However, Jude Bellingham has enjoyed a perfect start to his life in Spain and even way better than Ronaldo did in his first 10 games.
Bellingham has found the back of the net ten times in his opening ten LaLiga games, compared to Ronaldo’s tally of seven.
Ronaldo also managed to assist just once in 10 games while Bellingham has had 2 assists so far in his debut season.
Jude Bellingham has shown efficiency by also scoring 10 goals from just 24 shots while Ronaldi had seven goals from 60 shots.
Jude Bellingham has hit the target 17 times, while Ronaldo was accurate with 22 of his 60 efforts.
The Portugal star was averaging a goal every 112 minutes, compared to Bellingham’s astonishing tally of 86.
One thing is sure, Bellingham will not be able to beat Ronaldo’s total goal tally of 450 goals in 438 matches for Real Madrid in 9 years.
Ronaldo also won four Ballons d’Or awards in that period and that will be a massive mountain for Bellingham to climb.
