English international Jude Bellingham admits he has dreamt about being a Ballon d'Or winner for a long time after Gary Lineker said he would pick up the award one day. Bellingham is seeking to continue his brilliance during the coming period in order to win more major awards in the world, especially after he was recently crowned with the Cuban Award for the best-emerging player in the world. Bellingham continued his stunning start to life at Madrid with a match-winning brace to beat rivals Barcelona 2-1 in the first Clasico of the season. Those were his 12th and 13th goals for Los Blancos in all competitions since his summer move from Borussia Dortmund. The 20-year-old is one of the best players in world football right now and now-retired striker Lineker believes he is a Ballon d'Or winner in waiting. The Spanish newspaper "AS" Spanish newspaper reported that it was strange that none of the four players who won the Copa Award before Bellingham came close to the Ballon d'Or. The newspaper added that in 2018, the Copa Award, which is given to the best player in the world under 21 years of age, was launched by the famous French magazine “France Football”, where it was won by: Kylian Mbappe (2018), Matthijs de Ligt (2019), Pedri (2021). ), Jaffe (2022). The newspaper pointed out that Bellingham, the new winner of this edition of the 2023 Copa Cup, will destroy this negative statistic, as next year 2024 he is already a clear candidate to win the Ballon d’Or, and the award is waiting for him. Bellingham, the Real Madrid star, was crowned the 2023 Copa Award for Best Young Player in the World, during the Ballon d'Or awards ceremony held in Paris, outperforming many competitors, perhaps the most prominent of whom are the Barcelona duo, Javi and Pedri, in addition to Gamal Musiala, the Bayern Munich star.
