Carlo Ancelotti says Jude Bellingham can ‘easily reach 20-25 goals’ for Real Madrid this season after the 20-year-old ‘veteran’ scored twice in their 2-1 win over Barcelona<\/h1>\n

• Jude Bellingham scored a screamer and a late winner against Barcelona\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
• Carlo Ancelotti hailed the 20-year-old star as playing like a ‘veteran’\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
• He also backed his \u00a3113million man to score at least 20-25 goals this season\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Carlo Ancelotti hailed his 20-year-old veteran Jude Bellingham after the England midfielder scored twice in his first Clasico to win the game for Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

  ‘He can easily reach 20-25 goals, said Ancelotti. ‘We don’t have in mind that he is a scorer or a striker. He is scoring, but we wait for the rest of us to score goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

  \u2018Bellingham plays like a veteran. He’s got a fantastic attitude. We didn\u2019t want a draw and his equaliser changed the dynamic of the game. From then on we had more strength and more energy and they started to show more weakness; until that moment they had been the better side.\u2019<\/p>\n

  Bellingham\u2019s goal on 68 minutes was probably the best of the 13 he has scored so far.<\/p>\n

  He did not celebrate as he was thirsty for more and determined to find a winner for Los Blancos.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

  Carlo Ancelotti said Jude Bellingham plays like a ‘veteran’ despite being only 20 years old<\/p>\n

  Bellingham scored a stunner equaliser to give Real Madrid hope of victory against Barca<\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

  He went on to score the winner and his 13th goal of the season to bolster his growing reputation\u00a0<\/p>\n

  That much he did as he scored in the 92nd minute to become the hero in his first El Clasico.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

  \u2018We are surprised with him especially in terms of his effectiveness,\u2019 said Ancelotti. \u2018He’s scored a lot of goals already but what was surprising here was the distance. He hasn’t scored a lot from the edge of the area, usually it\u2019s when he arrives from deeper.\u2019<\/p>\n

  Asked if the England man should be a Ballon d\u2019Or candidate he said: \u2018I don’t know where he will be in the Ballon d’Or. I don’t really care. All I know is that at the moment he makes a huge difference for us.\u2019<\/p>\n

  The result sees Madrid move four points clear of Barcelona and retain top spot over surprise quick starters Girona, who are level with them on 28 points.\u00a0<\/p>\n

  Bellingham is top scorer in La Liga by some distance, with his ten goals three better than his nearest rival, Antoine Griezmann.\u00a0<\/p>\n
