Jude Bellingham has become one of the leaders of Real Madrid in just a few months. His football and his character on the field have caused him to take the team on his back. And Thierry Henry, , former French player, has given him several very important compliments.

In the preview of the Champions League match between Real Madrid and Leipzig, Henry said the following about the Englishman: "Look at this boy right now. You have to take a bow. I'm not a Madrid fan, you know. The first time I saw Bellingham play was in an England friendly against San Marino."

"He wanted each and every one of the balls; every time I saw him, he was not at all nervous, nothing. And we also have to thank Ancelotti for the scheme he uses; 'he answered the call'. So well done...", he continues.

He also makes reference to Jude's idol, Zinedine Zidane, for whom he chose the number 5: "Are you Zidane's number 5 and doing this? Well done friend."

"I had the opportunity to play in many leagues, but footballers have it easy in England. The pressure and expectations that you have to endure at Real Madrid or Barça. This makes it even more special," Henry concludes.
