Scorer Tuesday evening in Naples, in the Champions League, Vinicius Junior dropped a small bomb on his teammate Jude Bellingham, also decisive against the Italians.
Although having paid the sum of 103 million euros to attract him to Santiago-Bernabeu, during the last summer transfer window, Real Madrid probably did not expect Jude Bellingham to adapt so quickly to his new colors. The performances of the young English midfielder even go beyond expectations.
With eight goals in nine matches in all competitions, including six goals in seven La Liga matches, the former Borussia Dortmund player has so far achieved the status of top scorer at the White House since the start of the 2023-2024 season. .
“I told him: ‘come to Madrid’”
Tuesday evening, the 20-year-old prodigy was once again decisive in the victory snatched by the Merengue on the field of Naples (3-2), counting for the 2nd day of the group stage of the Champions League. In the first period, at 1-1, the native of Stourbridge deceived the last bastion of the Azzurri after a high-class individual action.
From the final whistle, Vinicius Junior spoke about his illustrious teammate. The Brazilian striker thus admitted to having contributed in his own way to the recruitment of the Three Lions nugget. “I wanted Jude at Real Madrid! I sent many messages to Bellingham last year. I was texting him almost every day and telling him: ‘come to Madrid’”, warned the former Flamengo player in comments relayed by journalist Fabrizio Romano. And there is no doubt that given the level of play displayed by the main player, the Auriverde international does not regret for a single moment his repeated foot calls in the off-season.
Thanks to this victory against Rudi Garcia’s players, Real Madrid occupy first place in Group C with six points and are already getting closer to qualifying for the round of 16, before a next day against the Portuguese Sporting Braga.
