Jude Bellingham is reportedly growing frustrated with his recent goal drought at Real Madrid.
The midfielder believes scoring is a crucial aspect of his game, and his inability to find the back of the net has prevented him from performing his signature ‘open arms’ celebration at the Santiago Bernabéu for several months.
Bellingham’s last goal for Real Madrid came in May, with his recent strikes occurring for England during the international break.
The young star has now gone more than 150 days without scoring for Los Blancos.
A tactical shift at Real Madrid has played a role in this dry spell. Since Kylian Mbappé’s arrival, Bellingham has been deployed in a deeper midfield role, limiting his chances to push forward and score.
Mbappé has taken on the primary goal-scoring responsibilities, which has reduced Bellingham’s opportunities to find the net.
Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti is reportedly surprised by Bellingham’s goal drought, especially as Mbappé has stepped up to deliver the goals Bellingham was scoring last season.
The change in dynamics has left Bellingham eager to regain his goal-scoring form and make his mark once again.
