It would be somewhat of an understatement to say that Jude Bellingham has taken to life in Madrid like a proverbial duck to water.
The 20-year-old from Birmingham has smashed home 17 goals in 21 appearances this season and has already broken Cristiano Ronaldo's record for the most goals scored in a player's first 15 games at the Spanish giants.
So far he has taken everything in his stride with complete ease and has developed an aura of confidence seldom seen in anyone his age, from any walk of life.
But he is so highly thought of that it is sometimes difficult to remember that the England international was only born in late June 2003, and even now carries a large portion of the weight of expectation from an entire nation.
