Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham made a fashion statement on the pitch during the Champions League match against Napoli on Wednesday, sporting unreleased adidas Predator boots that drew inspiration from the iconic style once worn by Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane.

 The yet-to-be-released boots seemed to work their magic, as the England international scored a crucial goal, giving his team a 2-1 lead in the first half.

Bellingham joins a recent trend of top footballers flaunting unreleased adidas boots, with Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold showcasing the next generation adidas Predator during a recent match against Manchester City. The attention to detail even extended to Bellingham’s celebration against Cadiz over the weekend, where he teased the return of the famous tongue associated with the Predator series.

The goal against Napoli marked Bellingham’s 15th in all competitions this season, showcasing his prowess on the field. In the Champions League alone, the 20-year-old midfielder has found the net four times in as many games, complementing his 11 goals in 12 La Liga appearances since joining Real Madrid.

Despite already securing their place in the Champions League knockout rounds, Bellingham and his Madrid teammates continue their campaign, facing Granada in La Liga on Saturday. As the midfielder not only contributes to victories but also makes waves with his choice of football gear, fans eagerly anticipate more from this rising star in the world of football fashion and skill.
