Champions League: His impact has been massive – Guardiola hails Real Madrid star

Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola has hailed Real Madrid star, Jude Bellingham, insisting that his impact at Carlo Ancelotti’s side so far this season has been massive.

According to Guardiola, Bellingham‘s influence at Real Madrid is obvious, adding that Man City will have to find a way to control it when both teams clash in the Champions League quarter-final next month.

Guardiola spoke at his pre-match press conference on Friday ahead of his side’s FA Cup quarter-final tie with Newcastle United on Saturday.

The Spaniard said of Bellingham: “His impact has been massive.

“It’s a different team from last season. His influence is obvious, and we have to try to discover what he does to control it.”

Bellingham has been impressive for Madrid since joining the La Liga leaders from Borussia Dortmund last summer.
