Real Madrid attacking midfielder Jude Bellingham has praised his teammate Rodrygo as the most underrated and gifted player in the Los Blancos squad.
Bellingham highlighted Rodrygo’s selflessness, stating that he makes significant sacrifices for the team.
Bellingham’s comments came after Real Madrid’s Champions League playoff second-leg victory over Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu.
When asked about Kylian Mbappe and Rodrygo’s abilities, Bellingham told CBS Sports:
“Kylian is unbelievable.
“Everyone knows what a special player he is.”
He added, “Rodrygo is so underrated.
“For me, he’s probably the most talented and gifted player in the squad.
“The things he can do with a football are incredible.”
Bellingham also praised Rodrygo’s willingness to adapt and make sacrifices for the team.
“It’s clear that his favorite position is on the left, but he does a lot for the team defensively on the right side, and he never complains; he just gets on with it.”
Rodrygo has been a key player for Real Madrid since joining from Santos in 2019, making over 250 appearances for the Champions League holders.
