Thomas Tuchel hails Bellingham and makes Ancelotti reveal that speaks volumes

Jude Bellingham will carry an “extraordinary” threat in the battle of the two European heavyweights.

Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel says England superstar Bellingham is playing with the sort of self confidence and style that makes him look as if he has worn the Real Madrid shirt his whole life.‌ The Champions League semi final also pits England’s two heavyweights against each other as Bellingham will face Harry Kane at the Allianz Arena.

Tuchel was glowing in his praise for Bellingham who has been a revelation since his move to the Bernabeu last summer which has elevated him to become one of the best players in the world.

Ex-Chelsea boss Tuchel said: “Jude has had an extraordinary development. He was fantastic here in the Bundesliga and how he progressed here shows the level of personality, this is only possible with a huge personality.‌

“Everyone who plays for Real Madrid also plays with the pressure of the shirt, plays with the pressure to play for this club with the demands and expectations. He handles it like he has never done anything else before.

"He is very dangerous, very physical in his game and is an absolute key player and plays in a very offensive position and we are well aware of it. We try to find solutions.”

Bellingham, 20, has been Real Madrid’s best success story this season as they march towards another La Liga title while Kane has been just as good for Bayern.

England captain Kane has scored 42 goals in 42 games for Bayern and has three matches left in the Bundesliga to score six goals and catch Robert Lewandowski’s record of 41 in a league season. Kane has been a sensation and his goal tally beats his own previous best of 41 in a season for Tottenham while he also became the first player to score or assist
