Jude Bellingham

Signing Mbappe has only made Real Madrid worse, for all his goals. Bellingham was exceptional as a false 9 in his first season. That's probably his best position. He isn't creative enough as a number 10 and not disciplined enough to play as an 8. But once they signed Mbappe he got pushed into a different role. Vinicus Junior is also a lot worse in the same team as Mbappe, while Rodrygo has fallen off a cliff in the same time.

It's no coincidence just how much better PSG have been as a team without Mbappe.

Losing Kroos and Modric has hurt them more than anything. Mbappe has been sensational for them this season he's carried them on his back.
 
He chose the wrong club.
A player like him needs a strong manager to curb the ego. Prodigious physical talent, but a player who might never become what he could have.
 
Missed a big chance with a terrible finish, few driving runs forward without leading to anything. Simple enough assist for their goal. Wasn't awful by any means but no better than a 6/10 from him tonight.
 
Apart from the straightforward assist for FC Franco's goal and the chipped miss, I thought he did very little.

He spent far too much of the game moaning and whingeing and not enough time actually playing, though credit City for stopping his team as a whole, not just Bellend.
 
thought he played well and was Madrids best player tonight, got the assist and looked dangerous pressing forward, missed a few chances and good to see him on the losing side on this one.

Rodrygo was comfortably their best player tonight, followed by Carreras.

The rest of them were poor, Bellingham did nothing of note.
