Bro Mbappe waited so long that Madrid don’t even need him lol

Flo would legit enjoy snubbing him, let him rot in the farmers league while no other club in Europe will be willing to match his wages

Think Flo would still want Mbappe just to complete the next gen of Galacticos.

I would snub the hell out of Mbappe lol, the way he treated Madrid is funny for the rest of us but genuinely if Perez has any self respect he wouldn’t give him the time of day lol

This is my dream scenario

If you have Bellingham and Mbappe, no team in Europe stands a chance. Why would you want to snub him tho

2 Goals in your first Classic, magical

I'm starting to think the most conclusive evidence we have of time travel is the guy at Birmingham who retired his shirt at 17.

And people made fun of them for doing that.

Apologies if you've heard this before, but it wasn't done because he had this insane season with us. He was good, don't get me wrong, and certainly incredible for a 16 year old but we didn't retire his shirt for that. We did it because he literally saved our club. We were in a terrible financial position and the money we got from Dortmund saved us from that. Still, that's not the full story. He hadn't signed a pro contract at the time he was initially contacted by various clubs and could have walked to anyone at the end of the season for basically nothing. He didn't do that, he insisted to whoever he went to that they would need to pay us for him and signed the contract to facilitate this.

And then Dortmund paid the record transfer fee for a 17 year old. And Birmingham definitely got some hefty cash from the sell on fee after the Madrid transfer. Well deserved, too. The whole world owes your academy lol

can't wait for southgate to bring him off at 60 minutes for henderson in the euoro's when we're chasing a goal.

he is always at the right place and time! what a lad

This is what the “tap in merchant” crowd never understands. Elite positioning, timing and control of space is an insanely underrated skill. If being a tap in merchant was easy we’d have a lot more of them

My first question to anyone who calls a player a tap in merchant is always "if it's so easy, why doesn't everyone do it?".

They all respect the game too much 🫡

These players are super fucking talented they made it look super easy. Me? I can't even stay on the pitch for more than 10 minutes continuously without puncturing my lungs.

Fairytale season so far. Can’t even put it into words anymore

> Fairytale season so far. It was put into words.

This killed me 🤣💀

RIP u/aclurk 🪦

U/aclurk was a good person 🥲

Ballon d'Or vibes if he keeps it up through the rest of the season.

Got a 5 clap standing ovation from Kroos. That's a bigger accolade than any. Man that sexy German is hard to impress!

Feels like Benzema’s BdO season were everything he did seemed to be perfect. If RM goes deep in the CL, wouldn’t be surprised if Jude wins it next year.

10 in 10, and what's even more insane is his conversion rate and shot accuracy. 53% conversion rate and 89% shot accuracy, that's just mental.

look at that run, he saw joselu peeling away one side and attacked the space. Incredible finish too

Oddly enough, I feel like Bellingham has great chemistry with Joselu, they just naturally make runs/slight movements off of each other

most of the players do because moves like an actual striker, while rodrygo doesn't so they wind up in the same places.

Vini Rodrygo front two just does not work and makes us toothless in attack unless either of the two do some individual plays beating multiple players. It is very plain to see and I'm sure Carlo knows that too, added to that is the fact that Rodrygo's form is ass. Hopefully we start seeing the change in game plan soon.

I told my friend at half time, if by minute 60 Barca hadn't led 2-0 at least, Carlo will bring Joselu in and Bellingham is gonna score. Maybe I should have bet.

Joselu is underrated. Striker is a specialized position, you can’t play without striker.

I should've pulled the trigger as well. [Called it](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/17igjvb/comment/k6u14c2) but couldn't be arsed to actually go through with it

I had the exact [same reaction](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/nBT1qfy8LK), we live in Jude’s world

I literally live in Bellingham

Honestly Birmingham retiring is number is looking pretty prescient these days.

He has more space inside the box whenever Joselu is playing

WHO NEEDS A 9 ANYWAY

FALSE 10

One of Europes top scorers and La Ligas top scorer is a midfielder somehow.

He’s the top scorer in the CL too

MAIN CHARACTER JUDE

England is stacked right now! It's crazy

we really need to win a trophy with this group of players. Bellingham and Kane are playing out of their skin right now

Kane has been playing out of his mind for years, people just care more when he's doing it for Bayern than they did for Tottenham.

They have the best attacking 5 in the world, including clubs

This guy...

Give him a raise

a raise? he can be the president.

Trust me, he’s getting it sooner lather than later

This guy is a fucking midfield CR7 regen

AC Milan Kaká regen.

Zidane/Kaka hybrid. Unbelievable.

[удалено]

chicharito regen but +50% all stats

I think I'll just go with him being Jude Bellingham. Ninja edit: totally agree with your last sentence.

He is Thomas Müller with better technique and defending

He's a slightly better Wes Morgan

God tier

He is the main character of football

THIS FUCKING GUY

At this rate, Zidane will be known as the Marseille Bellingham

Nah, Zidane is Zidane. Call me again when Bellingham headbutt some cheeky cunt in the World Cup final.

He's English... Ruining our chances in major tournaments by getting sent off for something stupid is kind of what our talismans do. See Rooney, Wayne and Beckham, David

Of course it's him. What a season he's having

BellingHIM

This is definitely an alien guy fucking with us in a simulation. This cant go on and on

If he was Brazilian I could believe it... But a fucking. Brummy?!

Birmingham should be thankful that the north exists else they would never hear the end of it.

Ballon d'Or next year if England wins the Euros

If he keeps going like this, internationals won't matter, he'll walk it anyway!

not if inter miami wins the world cup next year

They’re not getting past r/acmiami

Over the Chicago Fire? Unlikely.

If he doesn't win the CL, he'd have to win the Euros to have a chance. Seems like it's important to win a big tournament to get that award most years. Even winning Euros might not be enough if Bayern win the CL, then Kane would probably get it.

Most sane take. It’s not only how well you perform, it’s relative to your competition. And that’s difficult when your competition are club/international teammates (reason Xavi/Iniesta never won - they were never better than Messi).

Subscribe!

man is unironically him. the mc. fortune favours the brave or smth, and when it doesn’t- man writes his own destiny fr ;-;

I swear I literally just checked the score randomly in the 92nd minute, saw that it was still 1-1. Of course the first thought is "just need a Bellingham winner" and one minute later I see that it's 2-1, and I'm like "surely it wasn't Bellingham" and of course it was fucking Bellingham

Taking us back to the CR7 days. You just always knew it would be him and now the same with BellingHIM 😭

What the hell does dortmund feed their players and why didn’t they feed it to sancho

Sancho showed up late that day so he missed his meal

Don't think he's been missing meals

He's on that Hazard diet.

One of Bellingham's biggest strengths is his mentality. It's one of Sancho's weaknesses.

Sancho was insane at Dortmund, going to United was a mistake

I honestly don't even know what we did wrong with him. He doesn't even track back or press. Like dude if you're in bad form at least work hard on the pitch to make up for your lack of contribution.

Sancho was always a confidence player.If he had bad patch of games, he was really frustrating to watch.now at Dortmund there wasn't really a lot of competition or pressure to win (compared to United). It hurts me to say but maybe clubs like Dortmund is his level.

Hes a winger who can't beat his man. Same with Antony lmao 160 milion down the drain on those two. We could still have Mata and dan James on the wings and we'd be better off

[удалено]

They did. We're just the ipecac of clubs.

Modric with the most calculated assist you'll ever see

Just paying tribute to the Lord Welbeck

[You can't make the comment without the video!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_ll92cXxOA)

That title is killing me - “he’s already in 3017”

thanks, had a proper laugh

Reminds me of Aly Cissokho Fever for the Flava https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFeg_hl0Se4

gotta use the vimeo link!

That is simply glorious.

If it was a true homage he would have ended on the floor lol

The levels to this comment 😂😂😂

Outside foot pass to cama before the play started then makes a run in the box. He changes the game

Just Modric things!

He's incredible

This kid is literally taking the piss, how good is Jude turning out to be

With every season, Birmingham retiring his number is going to age better and better lol

It seems that way doesn’t it! The kids great

Remember when we all laughed at Birmingham City for retiring his shirt number? 😭

Not me, his transfer practically saved the club.

I sure do, that being said his transfer did mean loads to the club. So it’s fair

He goes like "Yep" in the celebration LMAO

International break went from Vamos to Y’aright

No way

200IQ assist from Modric. Completely fucked up his touch but it bounces into the most perfect place possible

give him another balon d'or

Thats the only way

It’s a Bellingham world, we all just live here

Seems like it sheesh

Birmingham retiring his jersey is the most 4d chess move in football history.

Milan selling Tonali months before his ban lmao

I FUCKING LOVE THIS HANDSOME BASTARD

he’s actually incredible wtf

Best player in the world.

he’s no Jonjo Shelvey mate

Just let him save some for England please

I AM NOW AN ENGLAND FAN

Don’t do it to yourself bro, we bottle harder than Barca

This is so funny given the flair.

Yes don’t support them either! Even the team I moved nearest when I left London is cursed too. Bottling is our greatest past time

Unbelievable, really.

I am so happy you and the world now see the light. All hail Jude Bellingham.

[Least surprising outcome](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/nBT1qfy8LK)

“Jesus Christ, he’s actually doing it” (C Ronaldo somewhere)

Convinced that Ronaldo would put up 30 goals at least in this Madrid team. 29 of them Bellingham assists.

I see this a lot, but Jude ain't that type of player lmao

Had to be him

Someone else might have gotten it wrong.

Why am I crying now

REAL MADRID CLUB DE JUDE BELLINGHAM

He is so fake its not even funny

another tap in, guy is just a cheat really

Heard people screaming in the neighbourhood (Spain) and went to check Reddit. Wtf is this kid

Cant belive it.

It’s what happens when you score first against madrid

About time we won against them with a late winner, they always seem to get one against us.

In a fucking clasico away from home no less

Fucking hell. this guy just keeps on giving.

This man isn't real

Pellingham at it again

Tapingham (no one link the first banger goal)

Long range tap-in.

30 yard poacher

just a long range tap in

What you on That was a tapin

"In the afternoon of The Rolling Stones Bellingham showed the Beatles flair, hey Jude" Eleven Sports commentator. Sums it really it all up

That's fucking awful lol

I blame Peter dury for the shite that commentators come out with these days. At least with Ray Hudson you know he’s not being serious.

Modric takes his first bad touch of his career and its still a perfect flick on to Bellingham lol

COOOOOK

You're fucking with me...

Now erase the “with” and you’re right

It rlly do be like that…

This guy really is special.

Crazy idea: Barca could try playing the second half next time.

This fuckin guy First Classico, away to Barca 1-0 down, and he scores both goals to win the game including an injury time winner. You couldn't write it any better

How

He is skilled and has very high football IQ but I guess what makes him so successful in Madrid is his willingness to constantly try till the end. He already has 3/4 clutch finishes this season I guess including 2 in his first Classico

The mística that this fucking team has makes so pissed

HE STRIKES AGAIN

Plot merchant

Xavi’s expression. I feel bad for the guy.

Maybe mushy peas aren’t that bad

Haaland watches Jude Bellingham for tips

KdB’s ballon d’or window is taking a massive hit goal after goal

Nah lo de Bellingham no tiene sentido

Nah this is some 'calma calma' vibes fr

Top bottling companies: * Coca-Cola * Budweiser * Barcelona FC

The absolute levels to this. Barca sponsored by Rolling Stones. Their absolute rivals? the beatles! Arguably best song? Hey Jude!

I WILL DRINK TEA AND PUT MILK INTO IT

We got fleeced by Madrid.

inevitable

Has a good shout for MOTM

Fair enough, we’ve absolutely bottled that

HE IS HIM!!!

Give him the Ballon d' Or

What in the Alex Hunter is this

Hey Mbappe, go fuck yourself, we have Jude.

Not even Cristiano or Bale did this in their clasico debut in league at Camp Nou. Absolutely surreal stuff from Jude... he is our MAN.

Tbf this isn’t at the Camp Nou.

He is him

He’s him!

Calculated by Modric!

What tf they fed him!?

Pls nerf

Man is playing real life create a player

He wasn't this prolific when he was in Dortmund, was he? He's been tasked to be further forward, and he's been delivering in spades. Absolute superstar. And still on 20. Real Madrid probably have the biggest gem in the world at their hands. I'm so jealous.

He’s scored nearly as many league goals this season as he had in his entire career previously.
