Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham named England Player of the Year again

Jude Bellingham, the Real Madrid star, has been named England Player of the Year for a second time, despite not having had the best form with his club team over the past two seasons. Vinicius Junior, who was the standout performer for Brazil during the last World Cup, and remains a key player on Brazil's Canarinha attack, is another player who has maintained a high level of performance for his national team.

Bellingham's contribution to England's success in the recent World Cup was crucial, as they reached the semi-finals and finished third. This performance earned him the fans' vote as England's Player of the Year for the 2025-26 season. Bellingham previously won this prestigious award last year.

During the last season, Bellingham played 12 games for England, scoring seven goals and providing one assist. All of his seven goals came during the World Cup, making him the highest scorer in a single World Cup campaign for England. This recognition has given him great joy, stating, "It's a fantastic feeling… It's a great honour that the fans have recognised me again.

It's not something you think about when you're playing for your national team, but obviously, it's a lovely touch that adds to the magnificent summer we've had and the honour of representing my country."

Since the World Cup, Bellingham has continued his impressive form for Real Madrid, scoring three goals and providing two assists in the first eight games of the new season. His continued success and contributions are expected to be vital for Real Madrid's trophy-winning aspirations this season.
