After Kylian Mbappe scored a pivotal Champions League hat-trick against Manchester City, Jude Bellingham gushed over his teammate.

As Madrid defeated City three times to eliminate Pep Guardiola’s team from the Champions League, Mbappe was on fire. After the game, teammate Bellingham praised the No. 9 on TNT Sports, saying, “He is flying and it’s so good to see.”

With star forward Mbappe leading the charge, Madrid advanced to the next round despite a consolation goal from Nico Gonzalez. The former PSG player completed his hat-trick around the hour mark after scoring two goals in the first half. Despite having a poor start to his Madrid career, he is unquestionably in excellent form right now.

Bellingham declared: “Playing with him is fantastic. You enter games with the knowledge that you can pass the ball to him and he will have an impact. It is our responsibility to attempt to place him and the other three in the best places, and I also aim to get into the box.” You can be sure Kylian will be a threat once he obtains the ball in his preferred spots on the field. Right or left foot. Today, he scored several different kinds of goals.

His career accomplishments are astounding. I am aware that he started out slowly and needed some time to adjust to life here. He’s flying now, and it is  so good to see.”

Following their last 16 berths, Madrid will play either Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen or their intercity rivals Atletico Madrid in the following round. Bellingham, an England international, received his third yellow card of the season against City, and Ancelotti’s club will be without him in this extremely difficult draw.
