Real Madrid has bid farewell to the Club World Cup in the worst possible way with a resounding defeat against a PSG side that ran rings around the Whites. This farewell is not the only one, as the end of the tournament also saw Luka Modrid and Lucas Vázquez leave the club. They were not the only ones, as Bellingham decided after the tournament to undergo surgery and will be out of the team for a long time.

Bellingham and a decision made

It was already known, but now it’s official. Jude Bellimgham will undergo surgery after the Club World Cup. The midfielder’s shoulder problems date back to late 2023 in a match against Rayo. The English player fell badly, suffering severe pain in that area of his body. Since then, the Englishman has repeatedly shown obvious problems and will have to undergo an operation that will leave him out of action for at least three months.

“I’ve reached the point where the pain isn’t so bad. I was sick of playing with the sling. I’m losing a lot of weight from sweating so much and I have surgery after the tournament. I’ve been waiting for a long time and my patience is running out, but the physios and doctors are being incredible and I want to feel free,” said the player during the Club World Cup.

The Englishman is unlikely to play for the rest of 2025 and will return for the second half of the season, as there is a World Cup in the summer and it is important to be at his best. His absence will open the door to less regular players such as Ceballos and Brahim. In addition, the arrival of Mastantuono will also be an option depending on how the young Argentine adapts.

Xabi Alonso converts Bellingham

Xabi Alonso made it clear in his presentation that he sees Bellingham as a midfielder. The system proposed by the Basque coach, with three center backs and two wingbacks, has allowed the Englishman to not have to cover as much ground as he usually did. Along with Güler in the creative role and Valverde as his wingman, the Englishman has managed to make the midfield his own in several games, thanks to his power, quality, and elegance.

Bellingham’s 100th

Bellingham played his 100th game for Real Madrid against PSG in the Club World Cup. The midfielder reached this milestone in his second season. In his first campaign as a Madridista, he won the treble: the Champions League, La Liga, and the Spanish Super Cup. In his second, although the team won the European Super Cup, in which he was named MVP, and the Intercontinental Cup, he experienced the other side of the team, which will now try to rise from the ashes without him.

In these 100 games, 59 of which were in La Liga, 24 in the Champions League, 5 in the Copa del Rey, 6 in the Club World Cup, 4 in the Spanish Super Cup, 1 in the Intercontinental Cup and 1 in the European Super Cup, he has won 69 games and scored 38 goals in a Real Madrid shirt.
