Manolo Lama Explodes in the Middle of Girona-Real Madrid for Bellingham and Says It without Shame

COPE's commentator sentences the English footballer from Real Madrid in a few words

Real Madrid visited Girona at Montilivi and regained the winning ways in La Liga that they had lost at the new San Mamés. The rout against Míchel's men coincided with a draw for FC Barcelona : once again, Real Madrid depends on itself to be the leader of La Liga.

The standout player for the club was, once again, Jude Bellingham . The English attacking midfielder remains the leader of the team in the absence of an injured Vinícius who is rushing everything to get to the match against Atalanta on time. Kylian Mbappé, despite his goal, still doesn't seem to be up to the challenge.

Jude Bellingham's excellent work during Vinícius' recovery period has triggered all kinds of praise for the Birmingham player , even during the match against Girona. Although it is true that he left injured, everyone agrees that he was one of the best.

Manolo Lama, COPE journalist and commentator, agrees with these assessments and was responsible for transmitting them during the meeting. "Bellingham is a scandal, he is a scandal, for me a scandal," said the veteran Spanish journalist.

Unanimous Verdict

Because Real Madrid's '5' "runs, fights, struggles and is a star" . This statement by Manolo Lama regarding Jude Bellingham's performance in recent games leaves no room for doubt : everyone considers him to be one of the team's best .

Alongside teammates such as Raúl Asencio, Antonio Rüdiger and Thibaut Courtois , the British attacking midfielder is doing everything he can to keep Real Madrid in the fight for La Liga . The same is true in the Champions League , where the situation is much more complicated.

The three defeats , in five games already played, mean that the Merengues will play for qualification to the knockout stages in the match against Atalanta next Tuesday. The visit to the Gewiss Stadium, scheduled for December 10, will be the first 'final' for Carlo Ancelotti's men.

Once again, everyone at Real Madrid will be looking at Jude Bellingham , who left Montilivi early. Fearing a serious injury that hasn't yet occurred , Carlo Ancelotti decided to substitute him so that he could rest and recover properly.
