The Spanish press have blasted Jude Bellingham after the Real Madrid star raged at Vinicius Jr during his side’s 2-1 LaLiga win over Celta Vigo on Saturday night.
The 21-year-old was impressive for Los Blancos last season as they won both LaLiga and the Champions League following his arrival from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2023.
Bellingham has found life in Spain far tougher this term, however.
The youngster is yet to score for Real and, on Saturday, fumed at Vinicius Jr after the Brazilian refused to pass to him.

Spanish newspaper Marca have now criticised Bellingham, noting his big drop-off in goals.
By this point last season, the England international already had 10 goals to his name.
And Marca say Bellingham has gone from ’10 to zero in a year’.
They also criticised his ‘open arms’ celebration which became a trademark during his maiden season at the Bernabeu.

The newspaper wrote: “Now he has crossed his arms and has not opened them again since May 14, the date of his last goal with Real Madrid.”
They believe Bellingham is struggling to cope with his lack of form and think it’s unlikely he’ll get anywhere near last season’s total.
Furthermore, Marca believe the midfielder showed ‘monumental anger’ with Vinicius Jr after his team-mate failed to pass to him.
They also say the Englishman ‘vehemently reproached him’.

All seemed to be well between the pair after the game, however.
Bellingham shared a snap of himself celebrating with Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe, with both players on target.
Vini Jr then wrote the words ‘JB’ on the post on social media.
Meanwhile, Real boss Carlo Ancelotti was quizzed on Bellingham’s fit of rage following the showdown at the Estadio de Balaidos.

The Italian insisted he was pleased with Bellingham’s attitude, with the former Chelsea boss defending the 21-year-old by saying: “I haven’t seen that play you’re talking about, but if it has happened, it means that he has balls, character, and it seems good to me.
“Honestly, I didn’t realise the play (had happened).
“I’ll watch it. But if he has reacted… let’s be calm, after the game they were talking, laughing. They have no problems.
“The merit we have is that we always compete well, until the end.

“We could have played better, yes, but the group was committed and knew how to suffer, because Celta also competed well, with intensity.
“We took three important points thanks to a fantastic pass from [Luka] Modric [to Vincius].
“It’s something normal for him, because of his enormous quality.
“Luka always contributes, whether he is a starter or coming off the bench. He has such great quality, that it always adds up.”
