VINICIUS JR likened Jude Bellingham to Cristiano Ronaldo after Real Madrid’s 2-1 victory at Barcelona.
But stats from the pair’s respective first ten LaLiga games suggest that Bellingham might be even better.
The 20-year-old scored both goals, a 25-yard screamer and a last-gasp winner, as Real Madrid overturned a 1-0 deficit at Barca this afternoon.
After his pal’s latest heroics, Vinicius Jr gushed: “Jude Bellingham is incredible, he always makes a difference and the fans got used to Cristiano Ronaldo and now one more has arrived for us.”
Ronaldo, now 38, arrived at Real Madrid in a then-world record £80million transfer from Manchester United in 2009.
Having turned 24 earlier that year, the Portuguese had already earned a Ballon d’Or, won the Champions League and three Premier League titles when he rocked up at the Bernabeu.
