Madrid, August 1, 2025– The psychological war between the two greats of Spanish football ignites before the official start of the season. This time, it has not been a coach, a manager or a journalist who has made the alarms jump, but nothing less thanJude Bellingham, the English star of Real Madrid, who has not hidden concern for one of the new signings of FC Barcelona.
In a recent interview for a British media, Bellingham was consulted about his expectations for LaLiga 2025/2026 and what teams he sees as main rivals for the title. His answer was clear and direct:
“To be honest, I’m not happy to see him at Barça. That simply means that they will win LaLiga next season …”
Although the midfielder did not want to reveal the player’s name directly, several Spanish media already assure that he refers to the recent star signing of Barça:Joshua Kimmich, from Bayern Munich.
The German international, known for its versatility, leadership and tactical reading, has been considered for years as one of the best midfielders in the world. His arrival to the team led by Hansi Flick, his former coach in the German national team, has been interpreted as a key movement to return to Barça to absolute domain in Spanish football.
Bellingham’s words have caused a wave of reactions on social networks, with Real Madrid fans showing concern, while the Catalans are excited about what promises to be a historical season.
The English message has also been interpreted by some as a gesture of respect for the level of the German player, but does not stop reflecting the tension that is breathed in the capital before a Barça that seems to be recovering quickly.
⚔️ With the classic just around the corner and both reinforced teams, the season promises to be more on than ever. Will Bellingham be right? Is this signing that tilt the balance towards the Camp Nou?
The debates are already open … and counts back for the beginning of LaLiga has begun.
