After Saturday’s game against Real Madrid, Aitor cast doubt on the status of Jude Bellingham as the world’s best player.

It must not be forgotten that Jude Bellingham opened the score on Saturday with a sublime finish through the goalkeeper’s legs.

Aitor Ruibal had a standout performance during the game, securing Real Betis’ crucial goal that ultimately led to a significant point for the Seville-based club. Reflecting on Bellingham’s abilities, Aitor acknowledged, “It is true that he is one of the best right now, and at his age, he is surely among the best here, if not already.”

Jude’s gold not enough

Despite Jude Bellingham recently receiving the prestigious Golden Boy award and clinching the Kopa trophy, it appears that Aitor Ruibal remains unconvinced and throws dig at the young star’s claim to being the best player in the world.
