Jude Bellingham's remarkable journey from Birmingham City to becoming a pivotal figure at Real Madrid has been nothing short of extraordinary. His ascent began when, at just 17, he joined Borussia Dortmund in 2020, swiftly showcasing his immense talent in the Bundesliga.

Marco Reus, the former Dortmund captain who played alongside Bellingham during his tenure at the club, recently shared his insights into the young midfielder's early impact. 'When Jude arrived at Dortmund, he was a bit shy at first,' Reus recalled. 'But it didn't take long for me to realize that he was a special player.'

Reus emphasized Bellingham's exceptional mentality and winning mindset, traits that became evident on the pitch. 'He has a high spirit and a strong, winning mentality that greatly aids him during matches,' Reus noted. 'This was something he demonstrated very early on in his time with Dortmund.'

Bellingham's stellar performances in Germany caught the attention of Real Madrid, leading to his transfer to the Spanish giants in the summer of 2023. Since then, he has become an indispensable asset for the team, delivering crucial contributions in both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.
