Former Bayern Munich and Germany player Lothar Matthäus spoke about Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham.

"I'm a bit surprised by how many goals he has scored. He plays a bit differently here. At Borussia Dortmund, he was a leader, it's a lot of pressure for his young age. Other teams might say, 'If you switch off Bellingham, Dortmund will only be half as strong'.

But at Real Madrid, apart from Bellingham, there are seven or eight other players of Bellingham's level, although in a different way. So maybe it's even easier for him to play at Real Madrid than at Borussia because his teammates make it easier," Matthäus told the Daily Mail.
