A compilation of Jude Bellingham’s highlights during his Real Madrid debut against AC Milan has gone viral.
Last month, Bellingham became the most expensive British player after sealing a move to Madrid worth a reported fee of £113 million.
On Sunday, Los Blancos were up against Serie A giants Milan in Pasadena, California as they begin their pre-season fixtures.
Bellingham was thrown straight into a midfield four alongside Toni Kroos, Federico Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga.

However, Madrid found themselves 2-0 down after goals from Fikayo Tomori and Luka Romero.
After making several changes during the half-time break, Madrid came back to win 3-2 courtesy of a brace from Valverde and a goal from Vinicius Jr.
Bellingham was taken off in the 63rd minute after a more than decent debut for his new club.
The former Borussia Dortmund man showed glimpses of what he is capable of as he produced some very neat passes and provided energy in the middle of the park.
After the match, the 20-year-old’s debut highlights went viral.
Fans were quick to react on social media.
One said: “Impressive debut of Bellingham man, we're really going to enjoy him for years.”
Another tweeted: “Few minutes of watching Bellingham, Camavinga and Valverde play for Real Madrid and I got my joy back.”
A third fan added: “Bellingham has been class so far, already slotting in nicely.”
Someone else wrote: “Jude Bellingham BALLED OUT on his Madrid debut.”
Whilst a fifth commented: “When you’re a great player, people will forget your price tag. Jude Bellingham will be one of those players.”
After the match, Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti said: “Jude Bellingham? He's a fantastic player.
“He's very important. He's a complete midfielder. Very good without the ball. He's unique, extraordinary.”
Whilst Bellingham wrote on his Instagram: “Loved my first minutes as a Madridista. Let’s keep building. Thank you for the love!.”
Madrid will be back in action on Thursday as they take on Premier League side Manchester United at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
