I’m happy for the win but to be honest, it’s not easy playing with him again these days, I don’t want to sound too rude but he needs to go join Benzema in another league”- Madrid game changer Bellingham expresses lack of frustration at playing with £47M teammate who ONLY completed 9 passes had fewer touches than Courtois yesterday against Villarreal

In a post-match press conference following Real Madrid’s victory against Villarreal, Jude Bellingham made headlines with pointed remarks about a teammate’s performance. While celebrating the win, Bellingham expressed frustration, specifically calling out the player’s lack of involvement in the game. He stated, “I’m happy for the win but to be honest, it’s not easy playing with him again these days. I don’t want to sound too rude, but he needs to go join Benzema in another league.” This remark, likely aimed at a player who completed only nine passes and had fewer touches than the goalkeeper, underscored a notable drop in contribution during the match.

Bellingham’s comment, though blunt, highlights the growing tension within the team as Real Madrid aims for both La Liga and European success. His observation about a lack of consistency could resonate with fans and analysts who are scrutinizing player performances closely. As a standout since his arrival, Bellingham’s high expectations and leadership on the field have quickly endeared him to the Madrid faithful.

This incident raises questions about how Real Madrid will address internal dynamics and the pressure to maintain form in the face of Bellingham’s call for improvement. His comments underline a crucial element of top-tier football: accountability and the need for every player to contribute at their best. Whether these remarks will spark changes in the squad or influence tactical decisions moving forward remains to be seen.
