Carlo Ancelotti hailed Bellingham for the great Maradona’s fantastic performance on stage after Real Madrid defeated Napoli 3-2.

Jude Bellingham’s spectacular days continued when he hit the milestone of 8 goals and 3 assists. At Napoli, he made another significant contribution at a time when Real Madrid was beleaguered by individual errors.

Five hours ago, rich visitors sunbathed on yachts while a stream of cars from downtown Naples proceeded for the Diego Armando Maradona stadium.

Looking out to sea, everything looks stunning. In addition, to warm up for the Group C Champions League match between host Napoli and away team Real Madrid, star Joseph Capriati delivered an electronic music show.

The fervent tifosi inside the stadium didn’t seem to mind. Only until a song honouring Diego Maradona, the city’s unofficial saint, began to play did they turn to the stadium’s PA system.

Bellingham arrived here half a year ago and helped England upset Italy 2-1 in the EURO 2024 qualifiers.

Now he returns to the football platform associated with the great Maradona.

The Englishman helped Vinicius equalize 1-1 before taking the lead for the first time (Ostigard opened the scoring; Zielinski equalized 2-2 from the spot; Meret scored an own goal).

The majority of Bellingham’s goals were game changers, such as the solitary goal in extra time that enabled Real Madrid overcome Union Berlin 1-0 in the Champions League group stage opener.

“The surprising thing about Jude is that he is only 20 years old but looks like he is 30 because of his style and personality,” said Carlo Ancelotti.

“Bellingham is always focused on the match,” said the Italian military commander. This is unusual for a player of his age.

Then there’s his power and abilities. Obviously, what Bellingham displays always astounds people.”

Kepa, the goalkeeper, did not react quickly enough to the first goal. Nacho was then blamed for the punishment.

Bellingham’s brilliance helped Real Madrid gain three points in southern Italy, where Ancelotti was dismissed due to disagreements with his owner.

“The first-half advantage we had was thanks to Bellingham,” Ancelotti conceded.

“Bellingham, along with Valverde and Rodrygo, made life difficult for Napoli.” The home team applied a lot of pressure, but it wasn’t always successful.”
