Real Madrid forward, Jude Bellingham can follow in Lionel Messi’s footsteps, Arrigo Sacchi has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he likes how dominant and strong Bellingham is when he gets the ball, and only Lionel Messi has managed to impress him on the pitch at a similar age.

Sacchi added that Jude is definitely a different player to Messi, but he expects him to also be world-class soon.
His words, “He was dominant. Damn, he is so strong. He does everything. He always plays for the team. Only Messi had impressed me so much at his age. Of course, Bellingham is different from Leo, but if he remains this humble he can retrace his steps because Bellingham is world-class.”
WOW.
