Carlo Ancelotti hails Jude Bellingham as 'complete midfielder' after Real debut

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti was impressed with the debut of 'complete midfielder' Jude Bellingham in the 3-2 pre-season win over AC Milan in Los Angeles.

Federico Valverde scored twice in a row before Vinicius Junior netted the winner with six minutes remaining after Fikayo Tomori and Luka Romero gave the Italians a 2-0 half-time lead.

England international Bellingham played for the first time since his £88.5m move from Borussia Dortmund, playing 64 minutes before being replaced by Nico Paz.

Ancelotti told Real's official website: "I was really impressed with Bellingham.

"Bellingham played very well and the team have to get used to his quality, which is incredible. His arrival in the box is extremely important for the team.

"He's a fantastic player, very important to us because he's a complete midfielder and he brings real pace and intensity to the game.

"He moves extremely well off the ball and he's different to other midfielders we have. He makes the most of the free space and adds another dimension to this team, which is fantastic."
