MADRID, SPAIN – In a season brimming with extraordinary talent, Jude Bellingham has been crowned La Liga’s Player of the Season following an outstanding effort that saw the 20-year-old midfielder play a pivotal role in Real Madrid’s triumph in securing their 36th league title.
Bellingham’s victory in this prestigious award was determined by a combination of votes from fans, club captains, and a panel of esteemed experts. He outshone formidable competitors, including his Real Madrid teammate Vinícius Júnior, Atlético Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann, Girona’s Artem Dovbyk, and Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski.
Remarkable Season Statistics
Bellingham’s statistics this season have been nothing short of phenomenal. In La Liga, he scored 19 goals and contributed six assists in just 28 appearances. Across all competitions, his impact was even more pronounced, with 23 goals and 12 assists.

His seamless transition to La Liga and his consistent performances have not only earned him individual accolades but have also helped Real Madrid reclaim domestic supremacy.
In a message shared at the award ceremony held in Sardinia, Bellingham expressed his heartfelt gratitude: “I would like to dedicate it to my teammates, the coaching staff, and, most importantly, to the fans of the best club in the world. It’s a pleasure every time I play for this team. Hala Madrid!”
