With Kylian Mbappe sidelined, Jude Bellingham has identified four players himself including who must carry the load for Real Madrid.
Speaking ahead of tonight’s Supercopa de España semi-final against Atletico Madrid, the English midfielder emphasized that the team must adapt to life without their leading talisman.
Mbappe, who has been in sensational form with 29 goals and 3 assists in just 24 games this season, stayed behind in Madrid to treat a knee injury.”It’s down to players like myself, Vini, Rodrygo, and Gonzalo [Garcia] to step up in the absence of Kylian’s huge influence,” Bellingham told Madrid Xtra.
He noted that the responsibility isn’t just about scoring, but improving their “all-round play” to ensure the team remains clinical in Saudi Arabia.
