It seems that the atmosphere at Real Madrid has reached the peak of tension after the report published by the newspaper “AS” about Jude Bellingham’s bad psychological state due to the events of the Golden Ball.
Bellingham came in third place in the final ranking of the Golden Ball behind the winner Rodri and his runner-up Vinicius Junior, but the England international is not happy with how Real Madrid dealt with the matter.
Real Madrid did not care much about Bellingham
According to the report, Bellingham feels bad about not being included in the media campaign led by Real Madrid to get Vinicius Junior or Dani Carvajal to win the Golden Ball.
Bellingham was waiting for more attention to be given to him recently, but the reality is that he was marginalized greatly, which made him feel jealous of the way the management dealt with Vinicius in particular.
What made matters worse is the fact that Bellingham has advanced a lot in the Ballon d’Or rankings after being in 18th place in 2023, and yet he has not been celebrated or thanked for his level, unlike what has happened with Vinicius in recent months.
This feeling of neglect makes Bellingham extremely angry, and coincides with another crisis, which is his decline in level, which the player believes is also due to the club and not because of him.
Bellingham is tired of Ancelotti’s tactics
It is no secret that Bellingham is completely dissatisfied with the position he is playing in this season, and how he has retreated into the shadows with the addition of Kylian Mbappe and the spotlight being on him and Vinicius only.
“AS” confirms that Bellingham does not want to be the scapegoat, and that relying on him in defensive roles like the one he played against Barcelona has begun to make him feel very angry.

The 21-year-old wants to return to his position last season, in which he shone and scored many goals, and to get offensive roles that will bring him back to the big shot again.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is well aware of the matter, but in light of the numerical density in the attack, he has not yet found a solution, and is trying to reach an understanding with the player and convince him of the different roles he plays this season.
What has Bellingham offered this season with Real Madrid?
It is worth noting that Bellingham has failed to score any goals with Real Madrid in all competitions so far this season.
The former Borussia Dortmund player has played 11 matches in all tournaments, and his impact has been limited to only 3 assists.
