Jude Bellingham Reveals Ballon D’or Dream 

Real Madrid star, Jude Bellingham admits he has dreamt about being a Ballon d’Or winner for a long time after Gary Lineker said he will pick up the award one day.

In the first Clasico of the season, Bellingham maintained his incredible start to life at Real Madrid by scoring a brace that won the game and helped his team defeat Barcelona 2-1. These were his 12th and 13th goals for Los Blancos across all competitions after joining from Borussia Dortmund in the summer. The 20-year-old is among the top players in the world of football right now, and retired striker Steven Lineker thinks he has the makings of a future Ballon d’Or winner.

 The England international told CBS Sports Golazo on Monday night: “It [El Clasico] was a fun one, wasn’t it? Really happy to play in it, really emotional game for me, watching them as a child, so to play in one and help win one is really special.

“I still get goosebumps talking about it [on playing for Real Madrid] now. It is the biggest club in the world and I am just so proud to wear that shirt.”

When told Lineker said he would be a Ballon d’Or winner in 2028, a flattered Bellingham replied: “It wasn’t me, was it? Ah, well, that’s very nice of him. For me, it’s all about the team awards but it is definitely one you think of when you are a kid.”

At this point, Bellingham cannot fail Madrid. His £89 million ($112 million) transfer has looked like a great deal thus far. Being at the top of the league and potential winners of the Champions League, the club is well-positioned to reclaim La Liga with him alongside them.
