I think this is a case of misinterpretation. Jude has been just as good for every team he’s played with before joining los blancos. Has he ever had a season where he didn’t outperform every other midfielder (arguably player) in his league?Admittedly his stats are quite better since being in Madrid but I don’t think it’s a stretch to argue he’s been the most inform player in the world for the the past two years.

[@akunwanneprosper7016]

Later we claim that stats is not all about goals But Bellingham is the best player because he scores goals 😂 😂 😂

[@Ffgdchgcc]

Stats are very important + Jude does more than just score

[@florianroelen9780]

Jude has the best stats in everything, it's ridiculous. Not always the best but always very good

[@user-ed7et3pb4o]

he literally has no weaknesses in his offensive or defensive stats

[@CristanioPeweyyy]

​@@user-ed7et3pb4oEveryone does mate, this is why some people hate Jude. People like you treat him like's an alien god.

[@sayemm_s]

The rrason the number 22 was retired wasn't only cause he was a production of Birmingham, its cause one of their production teenagers saved their club from financial issues

[@rody2k6]

Off course a British KZbin channel would say a British boy is the best in the world.

[@furrycheetah]

He adapts so fast at La Liga

[@JudeBellingham-se7ez]

Thanks for your love and support fan, how long have you been a fan?

[@kingeik]

Sorry, but I have to comment even before the video as the premise is flawed. He already was the best, but joined a team, which is just so much stronger that his abilities could be channeled more to the type of play required of him now

[@MrStarkisser]

He's no Connor Gallagher but getting there.

[@jotarokujo9587]

😂

[@josesamayoa2734]

Ancelotti has his new Kaka. Bellingham being deployed with similar freedom as Kaka was with that Milan side.

[@JamJamIU]

Please save us with Vini Jr, Camavinga, Tchoua, Militao, Courtois, etc, etc injuries Don Jude Bellingham....

[@yogevlahat6830]

@tifo can you do a comparison ideo of Bellingham vs Kaka under Ancelloti?

[@mitchell5942]

He's playing under a much better manager as well

[@joshua1502]

Madrid Pr, if he was doing this in Liverpool but they're still second you wouldn't put that title. You'll probably stop at " best midfielder in the world " cause best player is a stretch

[@Ffgdchgcc]

Lol😂 szobozlai plays for Liverpool and is called one of the best mods itw while not being comparable to bellingham

[@kaustubhpawar3287]

1:32 Axel not Alex Witsel

[@martinkf]

I think it's very sad that not even TIFO knows the difference between the terms "player with the current best form" and "world's best player" these days.

[@Leon玲央]

A bit sad Muisala didnt won the golden boy, but Bellingham is deffinetly alredy one of the best.

[@bruhbro1181]

Bellingham to Madrid and Haaland to City made City vs Madrid more interesting

[@Keownsky666]

The young lads unreal to be fair , See he made a miraculous recovery to play today 😂😂😂😂

[@pirateboyfearless]

Dont think you can really say "nobody could have guessed'.. BCFC retired his number with this exact sentiment in mind.

[@coreykuehl8519]

He didn't become the world's best player overnight because he isn't the world's best player. Quit with the stupid click bait.

[@KungFuPANDA-e6z]

Once mbappe comes jude will be playing behind mbappe as St. And valverde and camavinga will take over midfield and Vini and rodrygo wings.

[@Whoami691]

Real no longer need the overrated mbappe. He can stay in his pleb league.

[@mohdehtesham8357]

Sometimes, I think the world is just unfair. Bro is tall, good-looking, great in his game and abilities, smart, and confident at just 20 years of age.

[@TacticalTrends-l2x]

you either earn the look or you steal the look

[@garrygalloway5043]

Best player according to who? No one wins the Ballon D'or for being the best footballer in September or October. Was Bellingham the World's best footballer when England were knocked out of the World Cup by France? Was Bellingham the best player in the World when Real played Atletico? Was Bellingham the best footballer when club titles are decided in April, May and early June?

[@Ffgdchgcc]

He's talking about form😂

[@garrygalloway5043]

@@Ffgdchgcc He's talking pure hype. He never used the word currently. Can you name who was the World's best footballer in September 2022? NO YOU CAN'T BECAUSE LONG TERM NOBODY CARED!!😳😳😳 If at that time, they said Messi/ Ronaldo were the World's best footballer in September ( of a particular season),that would be more plausible because they had demonstrated consistency over the years

[@garrygalloway5043]

@@Ffgdchgcc Everyone, even Ronaldo commented that La Liga is not what it used to be. There is a talent drain and the top teams only get tested about 6 times a season. The best footballers accel st the pinnacle periods during the season World/ European Cups and during the knock out phase of the Champions League. So far Bellingham has never demonstrated his abilities in those crunch knockout games. So it's way to early to be talking about being the best footballer in the World in September/ October 2023

[@CactusBravo42]

EXACTLY. And trust me he will ride that hype all the way to Ballon d’or next year. All of a sudden it’s as if goals do matter now.

[@garrygalloway5043]

@@CactusBravo42 You are not Bellingham. Why are you trying to live your life through someone else? REFLECTIVE GLORY!!😳😳😳😳

[@tlgonline]

apart from everything he's a complete athlete. he's both muscular and fast. that's how he adapted so quickly.

[@XXBlueThanosXX]

a month later jude goes going, idk if u saw his scissors vs almeria almost hit just shows how strong and tall he is

[@EdwardElric469]

The actual answer is: Social Media

[@football.cinema.]

Let’s put it like this: if Bellingham keeps this up (which will be nearly impossible), he has a legitimate shot at overtaking Lampard & Gerrard as England’s best ever midfielder by the time his career is over…

[@Ffgdchgcc]

Impossible? People said that when he first started out at madrid, he can keep scoring at this rate

[@StillAwesome21]

​@@FfgdchgccNo he can't, especially not when they buy a new striker. He won't have to make those deep runs or stay upfront.
