Jude Bellingham has been a revelation for Real Madrid. The English midfielder joined Los Blancos in the summer and since then, he has been a pivotal performer for them.

The former Borussia Dortmund player has netted 21 goals and has 10 assists in his first season at Real Madrid so far, and has scored numerous crucial goals for them.

He was excellent for the Spanish giants in the El Clasico recently where he scored a 90th minute winner to hand Real Madrid a crucial victory. The lanky teenager has been a livewire on the field and has snatched away results numerous times this season with late goals and assists.

Real Madrid are up against Bayern Munich in the semifinal of the UEFA Champions League and the English midfielder is set to play a key part. As the Spanish team looks to enhance their UCL tally, Bellingham is tipped to make a huge impact against the Bavarians.

Former India striker Robin Singh also believes the same thing. The veteran India striker is impressed by Bellingham's poise and character and certifies that Bellingham's energy galvanized the Real Madrid squad.

"I think the character, maturity and the desire that Jude Bellingham has shown throughout the season is commendable. Not just his ability to score goals at the right time but also his ability to galvanize the team to make sure that the winning mentality is there," Robin Singh replied to a MyKhel question during an interview facilitated by Sony Sports.

The former India striker cited Bellingham's late winner against Barcelona and praised his winning mentality. But the India striker believes they would require a collective effort to reach the Final of the Champions League.

"I think that just shows his hunger and desire to make sure that he's always on the winning side and will he be able to take the team to the final? I think it has to be a collective effort and that's what at the moment Real Madrid are showing with the likes of Vinicius, Rodrygo, Lucas Vasquez and Federico Valverde (in the attack). They also have Jude Bellingham in the middle alongside Toni Kroos. It's a great team and hopefully, they can reach the final," he added during the Sony Sports interview.

"And once it's in the final, it's a different ballgame altogether. It's a different beast. But when you speak of beasts, that's what Real Madrid is. It's a different beast in the Champions League and that's why they're 14th-time winners looking at their 15th," he concluded.

Real Madrid will travel to Munich for the first leg of the semifinal on Tuesday (April 30).
