Jude Bellingham has taken Real Madrid and World Football by a storm right now!
He's gathered 15 goals + 4 assists in just 16 games for Real Madrid breaking the records of Puskas, Di Stefano and Ronaldo himself. All of this while just recently turning 20 years old, with his entire career ahead of him.
What he's doing is unheard of, perhaps only Ronaldo Fenomenon himself had a better start to the season than him as a 20 years old.
The differentiator however is his impact in the game, he's truly bossing the free role at Madrid contrubuting in goals, assists, key passes, dribbles, crosses, headers, flicks, finishing, playmaking, 1-2 passing, off ball movements, interceptions, tackles, positioning, strength, dominating, work rate and even leadership.. There is truly nothing that this boy can't do!
I genuinely cannot point a single weakness in his game right now, he's top of the charts for almost all attributes since the start of the season. So these achievements so far in the season brings the question, What is his ceiling as a footballer provided he continues this streak? Generational? All-Timer? GOAT candidate?
Dude IS the ceiling. If he doesn't get injured, he's a GOAT candidate. If he does get injured, he'll still be a generational talent, assuming it's not too soon. "Injured" includes both physical and other issues of course, who knows if he decides to burn down his house with fireworks or crashes his fancy car.
Generational means once in a generation(or least it used to be) reserved for that special player who comes along once every 20 years or so. Pele, MAradonna, R9, Messi. People said Mbappe was this generations generational talent. Then it was Haaland and now its Jude hmmm. I think that word has just about lost all meaning
