JUDE BELLINGHAM SLAMS CRITICS: "I DON’T NEED TO SCORE FORTY GOALS LIKE MBAPPE"
Jude Bellingham answers critics over his deeper role at Real Madrid and backs "electric" Vinicius Jr amid Xabi Alonso rumours.
Jude Bellingham isn’t shy about answering critics who’ve questioned his goal-scoring this season. He’s made it clear—he’s playing deeper for a reason. With Kylian Mbappe joining Real Madrid, Bellingham says it’s his job to make space for the new star. And when it comes to Vinicius Jr., he’s not having the criticism. Bellingham calls his teammate “electric,” even if things have been rough under Xabi Alonso.
Back when Bellingham first showed up at the Santiago Bernabeu, it almost felt surreal. He walked onto the pitch and just started scoring, like he’d been doing it for years. Madrid didn’t have a real striker, so he stepped up in midfield and filled that gap, almost channelling Karim Benzema. He finished that first season with 23 goals across all competitions—big goals, too, in El Clásico and the Champions League. Fans loved him. That image of Bellingham celebrating a late winner? That became the face of Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
Then Mbappe arrived in 2024, and everything shifted. The French superstar brought goals and grabbed the spotlight, but he also forced the team to adapt. Now Madrid’s attack runs through Mbappe. Bellingham’s numbers dipped. He’s playing deeper, more of a midfielder again, and not getting into scoring positions as often. Last season, he managed 15 goals. This year, he’s got five so far. Naturally, the Spanish media started asking if he’s lost his edge because of Mbappe.
Bellingham doesn’t see it that way. He’s been pretty blunt about it: his new role helps Mbappe shine.
Switching positions wasn’t hard, he says. “In my first year, I played close to the goal and scored a lot. Now, with Mbappe, we’ve got a guy who bangs in 40 a season. I don’t need to be up there all the time.”
He’s still making a difference, just in new ways. He points to last season—15 goals, even from deeper on the field—and says he’s still a threat. “I’ll always score. I know how to get into those spots. But this year, I’m helping the team in other ways. My job isn’t just about goals anymore.”
While Bellingham seems comfortable with his new responsibilities, he’s also quick to back up his teammates—especially Vinicius Jr., who’s had a tough time this season. Vinicius hasn’t looked like himself lately. He’s missed chances, and there’s talk of a falling out with Xabi Alonso, which has left him on the bench more than usual. Fans are restless. But Bellingham isn’t buying into the negativity.
“There’s a lot of pressure on Vini,” Bellingham says. “He does a ton for us. Yeah, maybe he’s struggling to score, but I see a guy who’s still dangerous and creative every time he gets the ball.”
For Bellingham, people are missing the bigger picture. Vinicius might not be filling up the stat sheet, but he’s still causing problems for defenders, opening up space—especially for Mbappe. “Goals aren’t everything,” Bellingham says. “There are assists, there’s the chaos he creates. He’s a huge part of this team. He’ll get back to his best, I’m sure.”
After a season without trophies, the pressure is on for Real Madrid and coach Alonso. Right now, they’re trailing Barcelona by four points in La Liga. The spotlight’s not going anywhere. But Bellingham, at least, seems unfazed—focused on the bigger picture, and not just the numbers.
REAL MADRID BATTLE LIVERPOOL FOR AZ ALKMAAR'S €75M SENSATION KEES SMIT
Real Madrid are ready to hijack Liverpool's move for Kees Smit while eyeing Roma's Wesley França to replace Dani Carvajal in 2026.
Real Madrid is gearing up to spend big on a talented midfielder, Arne Slot hopes to bring to Liverpool, while also searching for a right-back who can challenge Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The club has moved into the post-Xabi Alonso era with Alvaro Arbeloa as interim manager, and no one’s sure yet who’ll take over next season. Still, Madridise working behind the scenes, planning for the summer transfer window. One name at the top of their list: Kees Smit, AZ Alkmaar’s 20-year-old midfield sensation who’s been lighting up the Eredivisie.
Back in December, we reported that Liverpool is serious about signing Smit in 2026. Slot, a long-time admirer, has followed Smit’s career from early on. But Madrid ais alreadyto make their own move, and Fabrizio Romano has confirmed this interest.
AZ aren’t backing down, either. They want a club-record fee much higher than the €25m they got for Tijjani Reijnders when he left for AC Milan last year. Romano says Smit’s future is in the hands of super-agent Jorge Mendes, and the competition is fierce.
“Jorge Mendes is in control. Real Madrid want him, and so do several Premier League clubs. It’s going to be a huge battle,” Romano said. “AZ and Smit will have a crazy summer. Forty to forty-five million euros won’t be enough. It’ll take big money to get him.”
Graeme Bailey, our insider, shared in December that AZ are already asking for more than €60m for Smit. Some in the Netherlands expect the fee to get close to the €75m Barcelona paid for De Jong back in 2019.
Switching gears, Madrid is also eyeing Roma right-back Wesley Franca. Dani Carvajal, now 34, isn’t expected to renew his contract, so Madrid needs a replacement. Alexander-Arnold hasn’t made the impact they hoped for since joining from Liverpool, so they want real competition at right-back.
Spanish reports say Madrid are ready to offer around €35m for Wesley if Carvajal leaves. Wesley joined Roma last summer and has already shown he can contribute at both ends, with three Serie A goals so far.
IT’S OVER: REAL MADRID OFFICIALLY KILL THE SUPERLEAGUE WITH A HISTORIC UEFA DEAL
The Superleague is dead. Real Madrid has struck a peace deal with UEFA, ending years of legal battles and breakaway threats.
Real Madrid has finally closed the door on the Super League. They struck a deal with UEFA to end the competition for good.
This news comes just four days after Barcelona made it official that they were out, too. For a long time, everyone kind of knew it was coming, but now it’s real. When the Super League first launched, there were 12 clubs on board. That number dropped fast. Soon, only three clubs stuck around, and for the past few years, it’s just been Real Madrid and Barcelona keeping the idea on life support.
Not long ago, in November, Florentino Perez was still out there fighting for the Super League. At the start of this season, A22 (the company organising it all) even pitched a new format with plans to kick off in August 2026. But on Wednesday afternoon, Real Madrid released a statement:
UEFA, European football clubs, and Real Madrid CF have agreed on principles they say will help European club football. They talk about sporting merit, long-term sustainability for clubs, and making things better for fans, especially with new tech. The statement also says this agreement should finally settle all those legal fights about the Super Leaguefans, once everything’s in place.
So, that’s it. The Super League is done. It’s the end of a wild, chaotic chapter in European football. Real Madrid, who really pushed the whole project, actually got some of what they wanted; they forced UEFA to think about money, bigger games, and ways to keep the top teams involved longer. But UEFA still holds the purse strings. The Super League wanted the clubs to control the cash, plus they had big plans for streaming: free-to-air games, paid subscriptions, the whole lot. Now, that’s all history.
And that massive €4.7 billion lawsuit Madrid threatened UEFA with? Looks like that’s over, too. Unlike the English clubs, Barcelona and Real Madrid seem to have dodged the fines UEFA handed out in the early days. So, in the end, the Super League fades away, and European football moves on.
