Real Madrid coach Ancelotti: Bellingham has surprised us all - including himself!

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti hailed matchwinner Jude Bellingham after victory over Alaves.

Bellingham settled yesterday's 2-1 win over Getafe.

He later said: "I'm not surprised by Bellingham's quality. What surprises me is that he has scored so many goals in the first few games. It's quite surprising for everybody and for him. He's a professional and he's very serious.

"The professionalism of the squad is at a high level and he has the example there. He's adapted very well and has gone on holiday with the rest of the young players. I think it's all good.

"He can get to 15 goals because he did it with Dortmund. He excels without the ball and doesn't give it away. He often gets into the box and breaks lines. He's in almost constant attacking movement and that's why he has scored all those goals."
