Former Manchester United talisman David Beckham has praised Jude Bellingham, saying that he’s living up to the expectations at Real Madrid.

The former Los Blancos star also added that he’ll be ecstatic to see the 20-year-old play at UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany.

Bellingham arrived at Santiago Bernabeu in 2023 from Borussia Dortmund for a reported transfer fee of €103 million.

In his first season at the club, the Englishman has already added the La Liga title and the Supercopa de Espana to his trophy cabinet.

Furthermore, he’s close to winning the UEFA Champions League in his debut season. Carlo Ancelotti’s men defeated Bayern Munich 4-3 on aggregate in the semi-finals on Wednesday, May 8.

In 39 appearances across all competitions, Bellingham has 22 goals and 10 assists to his name.

Beckham feels the 20-year-old is a “mature” player who knows how to handle himself and will be a great addition to Gareth Southgate’s England squad. Here’s what he said while speaking to talkSPORT (via The Independent):

“The season that Jude’s had, the talent that he is – but it’s not just the talent with Jude, it’s about the way he is, the way he handles himself. He’s a model pro that knows exactly what he needs to do. For someone that is so young, to have the maturity that he has is incredible. I think him playing abroad has helped him with that.”

“Now he’s obviously at Real Madrid, where the expectations are higher than most other clubs around the world and he’s living up to those. When he gets in that England shirt, we’ll all be very happy as well.”

Real Madrid will have a shot at winning their 15th Champions League trophy when they take on Borussia Dortmund at the Wembley Stadium in London on June 1.
