'I never see him smile anymore' - Jude Bellingham 'a shadow' of his former self in new Real Madrid setup after 'setting standard so high'

LaLiga

Leganes

Real Madrid

<p>Bellingham took La Liga by storm last season following his summer move from Borussia Dortmund. The England international <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/la-liga-top-scorers-2023-24/bltc1315b7e4f725363#csfa9cd4b3b611ca01" target="_blank">scored 19 league goals to help fire Los Blancos to the title in Spain</a> and also played a key role in their Champions League win. Much was therefore expected from Bellingham this season, particularly with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-announce-signing-superstar-kylian-mbappe-from-psg/blt023bce8229a88449" target="_blank">Real Madrid having strengthened by signing Kylian Mbappe</a>, but the 21-year-old is yet to manage a single goal for Carlo Ancelotti's side in 10 outings during the current campaign.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Bellingham is not the only attacker in the spotlight in the Spanish capital after what's been a difficult week for Ancelotti's side. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kylian-mbappe-sets-unwanted-15-year-la-liga-record-real-madrid-barcelona/bltd364fe8e87b71ce8" target="_blank">Mbappe is also yet to consistently impress for Madrid</a> after his move, while fellow attacker Vinicius Jr has been snubbed for the Ballon d'Or and seen <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/the-rondo-ballon-d-or-edition-rodri-s-unlikely-win-vinicius-jr-s-snub-and-will-we-ever-see-usmnt-player-win-real-madrid/blt19161d95f9fe03d4" target="_blank">Manchester City midfielder Rodri lift the coveted prize instead</a>. Real Madrid's Clasico defeat to Barcelona last time out also means Ancelotti's men have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-vs-barcelona-kylian-mbappe-vinicius-jr/bltaedf37d47891c4da" target="_blank">slipped six points behind their bitter rivals and La Liga leaders </a>and have handed the title initiative to Hansi Flick's side in the early weeks of the season.</p><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Petit told <a href="https://www.jeffbet.com/" target="_blank">Jeffbet</a>: "Jude Bellingham has to play on the right-hand side. I think he's under an enormous amount of pressure because he set his standard so high last season and now he's a shadow of what he could do. Bellingham was amazing last season and always smiling, but I never see him smile now. That's a sign he's probably not enjoying the football like how he used to."</p><p><strong></strong></p>

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

<p>Real Madrid will not be in action at the weekend as their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-la-liga-match-against-valencia-postponed/bltb5f56707c61651e0" target="_blank">La Liga clash with Valencia has been postponed</a> following the devastating floods in the region. Ancelotti's side will therefore return to action on Tuesday against AC Milan in the Champions League at the Santiago Bernabeu.</p><p></p>
