Jose Mourinho has said that there is no other midfielder on the planet is capable of matching Jude Bellingham’s unique skillset. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

Hailing Jude for being the catalyst for Real Madrid’s dramatic UCL comeback victory against AEK Athens, Mourinho stated that Bellingham deserves praise for constantly delivering hard work, leadership and quality on the pitch.

Describing the England midfielder as a one-of-a-kind player, Jose added that Jude’s talent makes him speechless.

His words, “Since I arrived, he’s been brilliant. He’s a one-of-a-kind player; there’s no other midfielder in the world quite like him, so well-rounded in every respect. I’m lost for words, because to me he’s absolutely extraordinary.

And even on days when he doesn’t stand out, he always brings hard work, leadership, ambition, quality, a knack for getting into scoring positions, goals… He’s an extraordinary player. I’ll say it again: I’m very lucky to have this squad.

I am very satisfied, obviously. We played against a very tough side who played very well. From the very first minute, they were very compact and played direct football. They’re the reason we didn’t play the perfect match.

But despite the difficulty, we were always in the game. We managed to respond at critical moments. We showed character, even whilst trailing. And in the final minute, with the match in disarray and both teams desperate to win, the side with the greater individual quality came out on top.”
