The works at the Santiago Bernabéu are progressing and every match day there is something new in the final stretch of the renovation. Against Naples, several of the corridors that take the players from the parking lot door to the locker room were inaugurated, which are decorated with photos of Real Madrid’s latest exploits. The Champions League of comebacks occupies several walls and in one of the rooms there is a photo of Bellingham celebrating a goal and Vinicius making the gesture of taking a photograph. The Englishman passed there yesterday before continuing to increase his numbers with his new team. Months go by since his arrival and Jude doesn’t slow down. With his header, almost in suspension, against Naples he scored his fifteenth goal of the season, one more than he scored last year with Borussia Dortmund in 42 games, in his highest scoring year. Still in November and having just arrived at Real Madrid, he has already surpassed the best offensive figure of his career, confirming Ancelotti’s idea that bringing him closer to the area was the best thing that could happen to the English footballer.
He became the only player in Real Madrid’s history to score in his first four Champions League games, Cristiano did not achieve it, and to those he adds the 11 goals he has scored in 12 League games. He is a natural forward without being one, because in addition to scoring he participates a lot in the game in all areas of the field.
He hurt his ankle in the first half and it looked like he was going to stay in the locker room at halftime, but nothing like that. He completed the entire game and in the 94th minute he still appeared to give an assist to Joselu. It seemed that the former Espanyol player was going to replace him at halftime, but he came on for Ceballos.
Bellingham seems to have been at Real Madrid all his life and if that were not enough, against Naples he played with the same model of boots, with the red tongue, that Zinedine Zidane used.
The only one of the youth players in the squad who entered the field was Nico Paz and he did it in a big way, scoring in his second Champions League game with the first team. He had played 13 minutes against Braga and yesterday he took advantage of the half hour that Ancelotti gave to his favorite youth player right now. «Very happy, this is a dream, I didn’t believe it. I dared (with the shot), I didn’t even know what he was doing, I hit him and freaked out, honestly. The homegrown players are here to help,” explained Nico in Movistar.
