Jude Bellingham was one of the main protagonists in the match between Real Madrid and Juventus. The Englishman excelled once again, combining intensity, technique, and collective commitment. His ability to arrive from the second line makes him a very complete profile.
Xabi Alonso's system is built on very specific pieces, and one of them is Jude Bellingham. He not only makes a difference in attack, but he also helps in defense. He is a modern profile who interprets very well what the team needs at every moment.
Jude Bellingham leads Real Madrid while he can
Despite his physical discomfort, Bellingham has kept competing at the highest level in the Club World Cup. He knows that his participation is key for Real Madrid to reach the final rounds. That's why, while he endures the pain, he keeps helping with everything he has.
After the tournament, Jude Bellingham has confirmed that he will undergo surgery. A shoulder operation will keep him off the field for a few months. It will be a significant absence that will force Xabi Alonso to reorganize the midfield.
Before focusing on his recovery, Jude wants to enjoy the Club World Cup to the fullest. He knows that every match could be the last before his absence. That's why he gave his best against Juventus, being one of the most outstanding players in the match.
However, after the victory, he received an unexpected piece of news that completely changed his mood. Although Real Madrid's next opponent is already known, there is an absence that angers Jude Bellingham. One of the protagonists who was supposed to be on the field won't be able to do so.
Jude Bellingham regrets what happened
Real Madrid will face Borussia Dortmund in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup. Everything pointed to it being a very special match for Jude Bellingham. His younger brother was going to be on the other side, in a match that promised emotions.
