Harry Maguire is the latest star to heap praise on Jude Bellingham following his incredible performance in Real Madrid's 2-1 win at Barcelona on Saturday.
Carlo Ancelotti's side returned to the top of La Liga after coming from behind to beat Barcelona 2-1. Bellingham was the hero for Los Blancos, equalising with a 25-yard rocket before winning it from close range in the 92nd minute and sending the travelling support wild.
The 20-year-old now has 13 goals in as many matches for Madrid and is arguably the most in-form player in world football. His trademark celebration is fast becoming iconic and after securing victory in his first 'Clasico', the England international took to social media to celebrate.
