Italian media react as Bellingham takes centre stage in Real Madrid win over Atalanta | OneFootball

Italian media praise Jude Bellingham for an ‘all-round performance’ in Real Madrid’s 3-2 win over Atalanta last night: ‘class all over the pitch.’

The England international was the Real Madrid MOTM in Real Madrid’s victory away at Atalanta yesterday.

Bellingham provided an assist for Rudiger and scored the third goal for the Merengues in the second half.

La Gazzetta dello Sport rated Bellingham 7.5/10 more than any other player on the pitch.

“An all-round performance. An ultra-modern attacking midfielder. He dropped down, went back up and linked up. An excellent assist for Rudiger. The 3-1 resumes it all,” wrote the pink paper.

Il Corriere dello Sport also praised the Englishman with a dedicated article on page 9.

Bellingham was called the “star” that “bewitched” La Dea.

“A first half slightly below par, the goal and class all over the pitch,” wrote the Rome-based paper.

Bellingham, 21, has six goals and six assists in 19 appearances across all competitions with Real Madrid this season.

Football Italia also rated Bellingham 7.5, as much as Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman, UEFA’s Man of the Match last night.
