Jude Bellingham’s spectacular start to the new season at Real Madrid has earned him supporters all around the world. The fact that he did it at a new club with lofty expectations simply adds to his accomplishment.
The child won the Kopa Trophy at the Ballon d’Or presentation earlier this year. He added another trophy to his collection earlier today, earning the Golden Boy award by a stunning 97% margin.
After two years of Barcelona dominating the prize with Pedri and Gavi, the English prodigy returns Real Madrid to the stage after a two-year absence.
After all, he has not only starred for Los Blancos this season, but also for Borussia Dortmund and the England national team in the previous year.
After being crowned the Golden Boy, the Real Madrid player sent a touching tribute to all of his instructors and well-wishers along the road.
“I’d like to express my gratitude to everyone who voted for me in the Golden Boy Award for 2023.” “I’d also like to thank everyone who has helped me along the way at Birmingham, Dortmund, and now Real Madrid,” Bellingham stated (via Tuttosport).
“This would not have been possible without them,” he said.
Bellingham also said that he hoped it was the first of many more, and that his ultimate objective was to reach the stars.
“Now that I have received the Golden Boy Award, I want to continue and show as much of my potential as I can, and I hope to receive many awards in the future,” he said.
Despite suffering a recent shoulder dislocation, Bellingham was called up to the English National Team during the international break.
The Three Lions intended to get him back in time for their second game after the break, but he finally returned to Real Madrid.
