Bellingham Calls Rodrygo Madrid’s Most Underrated and Gifted Player
Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham has praised Rodrygo as the most underrated and naturally gifted player in the squad, highlighting the Brazilian’s selfless contributions to the team.
Speaking after Real Madrid’s Champions League playoff win over Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu, Bellingham was asked about both Kylian Mbappe and Rodrygo’s abilities.
“Kylian is unbelievable. Everyone knows how special he is,” Bellingham told CBS Sports. But he made sure to give Rodrygo the recognition he feels he deserves.
“Rodrygo is so underrated. He’s probably the most talented and gifted player in our squad. The things he can do with a football are amazing,” Bellingham said.
Beyond his technical ability, Bellingham also praised Rodrygo’s work ethic, saying, “He sacrifices the most. His favorite position is on the left, but he plays on the right for the team, works hard defensively, and never complains.”

Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, is expected to be at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos on Saturday, June 28, to watch the President Federation Cup final between Kwara United and Abakaliki FC.
The match presents a scouting opportunity for Chelle as he continues his search for fresh talent ahead of the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN), which is exclusive to players active in their home leagues.
Last month, the Malian coach included 10 home-based players in Nigeria’s squad for the Unity Cup in London, showing his growing interest in the local scene. Nigeria has been drawn into Group D alongside Congo, Sudan, and Equatorial Guinea for the upcoming CHAN, which will take place in August across Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.
Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has been hospitalized due to a severe bout of gastroenteritis. The club confirmed the news in a statement released on Thursday, noting that the French captain was taken in for medical tests after his condition worsened.
Because of this, Mbappe will be unavailable for Real Madrid’s upcoming FIFA Club World Cup clash against Pachuca on Sunday. He also missed their 1-1 draw with Al Hilal earlier in the week. At 26, the former PSG star will be aiming to bounce back quickly as he looks to return to action at the ongoing FIFA World Cup in the U.S.
