Vinicius Junior praised Jude Bellingham as “incredible” and said the midfielder “was born to play for Real Madrid” after the England international scored twice in the club’s 4-0 LaLiga win over Osasuna on Saturday.
Bellingham opened the scoring in the ninth minute at the Bernabeu, before adding a second early in the second half to make it 10 goals in 10 appearances for Real Madrid so far.

Vinicius added a third goal, and Joselu a fourth, as Madrid returned to the top of the LaLiga table.
“[Bellingham] was born to play for Real Madrid, to mark an era at the biggest club in the world,” Vinicius told Real Madrid TV. “Let’s hope [our connection] lasts for many years, that we play here together for a long time.
“I’m delighted to play with Jude, one of the best players right now, at his age. We’re all happy and the fans are enjoying it.”
