Kepa [on if Bellingham is at the level of Mbappé or Haaland?]: "Right now, on a global level, I don't know if I see anyone above Bellingham . We are all seeing what he is capable of in each game."

can we stop with all this dick sucking? it is literally October. Just started the season.

elaborate? who then?

That honestly wouldn't surprise me

Not saying he is trash but the PR machine was definitely turned on this week. I highly rate Bellingham but the PR machine is working double shifts.

Honestly, I would say the hype is justified. Nobody expected Bellingham to hit the ground running like this at the biggest club in the world. The man is supposed to be a midfielder but is scoring like Ronaldo. Of course it won't last and the vultures will be out as soon as he goes missing in a few games but his start is honestly unprecedented. He is winning us points in almost every match. Nobody expected this level of impact. The Madrid team is built around a 20 year Englishman on his first season in Spain and it's fucking working. I am biased obviously, but for me he deserves all the hype.

Embarrassing

Bet you weren’t crying when the Ansu Flopti dick riding was being spammed all around.

This is exactly my point.. This post and a lot of people are comparing him to Haaland. Thanks for confirming what I'm saying.

He's been like this for years. He's been absolutely outstanding in every single Dortmund match.

Yeah and Bellingham is a midfielder no one is saying he's been good only because of his goals

Not a Wrexham flair though?

Only on the internet. No one outside forums knows who he is. Not even twitter.

He’s a workhorse who covers the whole pitch. He can play make, link up play, carry the ball, and defend well.

It’s funny because Gavi has been providing a lot of this for us this season especially when Pedri/FDJ got injured but you are saying he’s 1/10th the player Bellingham is bases off what? Goal scoring?

Most attackers do the heavy lifting in defence too.

Mbappe could be better than Pele and I wouldn’t know because I don’t watch farmer league football. Play somewhere relevant maybe.

Damn Spanish goalkeepers always hyping English players

That didn't stop anyone from sucking off Haaland last October

Couldn’t be further from the truth.

He’s talking about current form just like how Guardiola once said De Bruyne is sitting at his own table a couple years ago.

Mbappe is at RM now?

You’re getting downvoted because 10 games is far too few to draw any conclusions. I’m sure some bloke’s first 15 minutes on a football pitch were probably better than messi’s but so what?

He is a mix of Zidane and Gerrard imo but way ahead of them at the same age. A born leader, someone who demands the very best of everyone around him no matter their standing. He has an uncanny ability to find time in the box with his exceptional first touch and decision making. Being so clinical In front of goal is yet another major facet to his game which sets him apart. I think he has 19 shots and scored 10 goals so far this season which is remarkable in addition to being a 20 year old world class midfielder. Being clinical was what made Ronaldo stay at the top later in his career but it took him years to learn how. I think mainly it's his mentality and game IQ which is above the others on top of his obviously great technical abilities.

I even remember commentators this weekend mentioning him, and I haven't watched any Bundesliga game the past weekend on tv (except Leipzig with no commentary on my betting app).

At the moment? Only those who didn’t watch him before say that. Bellingham has been this good, he just didn’t score as much as he’s doing now

Julián Álvarez Is clear of Bellingham

cause he literally scored every single game for Bunda too

Ronny had to move to the Middle East to escape Jude’s shadow

Yup, you are right without it everyone would be calling Bellingham a bum. It's not like he is one of the most in form players in the world in his debut season at a top club after joining for a huge fee.

We're witnessing something special right now.

Many complained the same about sucking off Messi or CR7 when they exploded. If this sub had existed back in the day, it'd be the same with Ronaldo, Kaká, Zizou, Henry, Ronaldinho etc.

There's a different feeling when you're watching an all-timer unfold before your eyes. Just enjoy it.

The disrespect to Jonny Evans

What people fail to realize is that Bellingham isn’t just providing goals but phenomenal midfielder performances. He’s a workhorse who covers the whole pitch. He can play make, link up play, carry the ball, and defend well. Even if his goal output declines, he’s still bringing so much to the table and is proving he should be up there with the best players in the world

Breaking news: Real Madrid player rates fellow Real Madrid player higher than non-Real Madrid players.

If we are only going with G/A, Bellingham’s first 10 games for Madrid have been better than Ronaldo’s

Edit: Getting downvoted over a fact?

Do yourself a favor and read his comments. Who needs haters when you got a fan like that guy.

Hes a great player, there's no denying that. But maybe come back once 75% of his goals aren't tap ins lol

Lmfao

lol.

Fuck, I misunderstood. Thought he was talking about Bellingham

I think Messi and Ronaldo would have been very happy with their careers if they would have reached the level Bellingham is currently at.

No of course not, Kepa responded exactly how you'd expect. It's the question constantly being asked by journos that's the issue

Reminds me of the early PR push they were giving Valverde last year. Crazy times.

Mislintat masterclass

Football, the only sport where people’s highlight tapes are a bunch of almost assists and he can be called the best in the world

Yeah he should dribble the whole defense and score outside the box double kicks like haaland

But Mbappe and Haaland aren’t Spanish?

He is not playing as midfielder exactly. Ancelotti though found his strength and utilizing him like that. He is like secondary striker or attacking midfielder for them. But yeah his number is good but so do several striker.

Serhou Guirassy has 13 goals in 7 games, but Stuttgart isn't backed by Madrid's PR machine so you won't hear about it, he is the highest rated player in Europe and has the highest shot conversion in Europe in moment

Mbappe has been on Bellinghams level for years now. TF is this?

Respect guirassy

This is probably too much praise, but realistically Bellingham could be on the way to become the most complete player in football history

They already comparing him to Mbappe and Haaland? lmao

He obviously hasn’t watched Francis Amuzu play

"footballer praises his teammate"

Why are people hurt by this? It's just a teammate praising his teammate.

It’s what I said!? He sits at his own table, i.e., different table. Same shit

A couple of tapins and that’s how they speak of him. He’s very good, but Madrid and England PR combo is too crazy

Preparing for Ballon d'Or 2024!

The RM media machine is out in full force 🙄

Real Madrid and tap-in merchants who is apparently the best in the world. Name a better duo

If my nonna had wheels she wouldve been a bikee

Why are people moaning?

On current form, as an all round player, Bellingham is top right now.

By season end? Who knows. But no one is talking about the whole season.

Unga bunda

No, but maybe it’s not worth posting every interview to Reddit

A couple of tapins

A feel like you are downplaying his contribution so far a bit, just a tiiiinny bit.

Getting clown flair on RM, you are rather an objective fan or a total madman that even real madrid sub can't take it

exactly, if he keeps scoring at this rate who the fuck cares, let them all be tap ins for all I care.

Hahahaha, its all anyone complained about tapins and penalties

Mbappe to burn his Madrid posters

he's the most in form player in the world atm, who else if not him?

still miniscule compared to the decade plus of consistent excellence of Messi and Ronaldo.

The Pumba?

10/10 meme right here

Probably not all that much, but this form is expected from Bellingham. He’s been that good for 2 whole seasons. Some guy you hadn’t heard of has 13 in 7 for Frankfurt. Best English striker for the last 2 decades and the premier leagues best for the last 5+ years joins Bayern and this guys outpacing him.

No harm mate but it has got to be Guirassy

Are we not allowed to suck dicks in October?

Anyone that's been watching all the Real Madrid games - care to share a breakdown of his overall performances outside the goalscoring alone? I have only watched his highlights and he's obviously been hugely influential in the goal + assists arena, but how has he been in controlling midfield, passing, defensive aspects etc?

I mean, people say the same thing about me 🤷‍♂️

PR Liga in full force again

This season he has been better than both tbh. Not the best player this season, but he is better than Haaland and Mbappe in current form.

I don‘t think it’s that crazy. Real Madrid is at least prestige wise the greatest football club on the planet. Bellingham doing well at such a club creates natural praise.

Come back when he got more trophies. Pleb comparision.

Madrid PR working overtime to make a kid who scored a few tap-ins the next GOAT. This is hilarious.
