Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham has been named the second-best male footballer in the world by The Guardian’s annual list of the Top 100 players in men’s and women’s football.
The list is voted for by a global panel of journalists and experts. Bellingham’s stellar performance in Madrid has seen his stock continue to rise in 2023, and he is being mentioned as one of the best players on the planet.
Despite being amongst the favourites to win the 2024 Ballon d’Or award, Bellingham finished second on the Guardian’s list, in behind Manchester City’s Erling Haaland.
Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe was named in third place, with Bellingham’s Real Madrid teammate Vinicius Junior finishing in sixth spot, with Lionel Messi dropping to 10th in the final rankings.
Bellingham has already scored 13 league goals for Real Madrid so far in the 2023/14 season, with 17 goals across all competitions.
