Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane has expressed his belief that Los Blancos are fortunate to have Jude Bellingham in their squad.
Speaking to AS, Zidane praised the England international as a spectacular player and expressed hope that he would contribute to the club’s trophy haul.
“From one number five to another, although we may not be of the same era, we share the same number,” Zidane remarked.
“Jude Bellingham is a spectacular talent, and we are fortunate to have him at Real Madrid. He is exceptionally talented, and I hope he helps bring home many trophies.”
Bellingham had previously expressed admiration for Zidane, stating earlier in the season, “He was one of the best midfielders of all time. I watch compilations of him. He is someone I greatly admire, and I aim to follow in his footsteps while wearing his shirt.”
