"It has been the best thing" - Jude Bellingham names favorite moment so far at Real Madrid

Jude Bellingham has named playing at the Santiago Bernabeu for the first time as his favorite moment at Real Madrid thus far.

The 20-year-old has made a phenomenal start to life with Madrid, bagging five goals and one assist in five La Liga games. He joined Cristiano Ronaldo as the only player to score five goals in their first four games in Los Blancos' history.

Bellingham has carved up many memorable moments in his short time at the Santiago Bernabeu. He scored a 90+5th minute winner in the 2-1 win against Getafe. He had also scored on his debut for Los Blancos in a 2-1 win over Athletic Bilbao and was named La Liga's Player of the Month for August.

However, the English superstar's favorite moment is his first appearance at Real Madrid's newly refurbished Bernabeu stadium. He told the club's media:

“I’ll take the first game at the Bernabeu, even though it was already in the next month. I think the best thing is playing for this club and getting used to everything.

"It has been the best thing. Playing and getting used to everyone’s style. Every day here is a joy and I hope it continues to be like this."

Bellingham has not only built a strong rapport with his teammates at Madrid but has become a fan-favorite among the Bernabeu faithful. Fans have been heard singing 'Hey Jude' by the Beatles in a nod to their new No. 6.

The England international became the club's second-most-expensive signing in history this summer. Los Blancos paid Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund €103 million for Bellingham's services. It's fair to say that the exciting young midfielder is living up to expectations.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti gives glowing verdict of Bellingham

Carlo Ancelotti (centre) is delighted with Real Madrid's new midfield star.

Manager Carlo Ancelotti has touched on Bellingham's incredible start to life at Real Madrid by explaining that he's now an important member of the biggest club in the world.

The Italian said (via Madrid Universal):

"Can Bellingham mark an era? He is evaluated by what he does in the field.

"He's doing well. He was not very well known because he played in the German League and did not have the role he had now. He now has an important role in an important club."

The English superstar had spent three years at Dortmund in the Bundesliga before heading to the Bernabeu in the summer. He enjoyed a meteoric rise at Signal Iduna Park, bagging 24 goals and 25 assists in 132 games across competitions.

Bellingham's final campaign with BvB was a memorable one, as he was named the Bundesliga Player of the Year. He scored 14 goals and provided seven assists in 42 games across competitions. He took up the role of Dortmund's protagonist following Erling Haaland's departure.

Real Madrid's newest superstar midfielder became the youngest captain in Bundesliga history last season. He also became the youngest captain to score in a UEFA Champions League game.
