Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham has revealed his favourite moment of 2023.
The 20-year-old has been a revelation in La Liga after he was signed by the Whites for a record €103m fee in the summer of 2023. He has been justifying the massive tag ever since making his debut with the 14-time Champions League winners.
The Englishman disclosed that his favourite moment this year was El Clasico which took place on October 28. He scored two crucial goals and led Real Madrid to win by 2-1 against Barcelona.
“My favourite moment this year? Probably the Clasico. It was a difficult game but two good moments for me to help the team get the win," he said.
Meanwhile, he wished to do more in the upcoming year. "Desires for 2024? Win a lot of trophies…more trophies. Lots of goals, good performances, wins. To continue enjoy being a Real Madrid player.”
Despite being 20 years old in a star-studded team, Bellingham has adapted to life in the Spanish capital very quickly and in just a span of four months, he not only became the team’s best player but also emerged as a fan favourite.
With 17 goals and five assists, Bellingham tops the goalscoring chart of the club and has seven more than his nearest rival in the team, Rodrygo, who has 10 to his name.
Bellingham has 13 goals in La Liga this season in 16 matches, which makes him the top-scorer of the league as he continues to fight for Pichichi, an award for the top-scorer in the Spanish league, with Getafe’s Borja Mayoral, who has 12 to his name from 18 appearances.
It must be noted that Bellingham was on the radar of many top clubs during the transfer window with Man City, Real Madrid and Liverpool going head-to-head to get the 20-year-old's signature. In the end, the English footballer preferred Real Madrid — the club of his dreams.
