Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti praised two-goal Jude Bellingham after their win at Barcelona.
The brace means Bellingham has now scored 13 goals in his first 13 games for Real.
Ancelotti said: “We’re all surprised at the level he’s at, especially in terms of how effective he’s been. He always tries to run in from deep. What was surprising today was his finishing, because he hasn’t scored many goals from the edge of the area and today he scored a great one.
“He could easily score 20 or 25 goals. We don’t think of him as a striker, but he’s a very important player for us. He’s scoring a lot of goals, but we also expect goals from the forwards.
“He looks like a veteran. His attitude is very good. The closer he is to the box, the better it is for him. He’s the player who has made the biggest difference. I don’t know where he will be in the Ballon d’Or. I don’t really care. I didn’t know there was a gala on Monday.”
