Bellingham continues to be the top goalscorer in La Liga, as he has 16 goals. He is equal with the most goal contributors, with 19 goals, along with Girona striker Artem Dovbyk. In the Champions League, it's no different, as he has four goals and four assists in six Champions League matches. Bellingham was impressive with Real Madrid once again in the Champions League second leg Round of 16 against RB Leipzig. Bellingham got an assist when he passed a great ball to Vinicius Jr., who scored from outside the box.

Thierry Henry was impressed with his performance and praised him for how he is dealing with the pressure of playing for Real Madrid. Henry said, "Footballers are a bit easy in England, the pressure that you have to endure in Spain, this is what makes it even more special. You have a show every night about Real Madrid, or Barcelona... the pressure, the press. You know how the expectation is if you take number five of Zidane when you celebrate, you’re like this? Oh, well done, mate."

Henry says that being scared of mistakes stops players

Henry discussed his iconic goal against Manchester United when he played for Arsenal. His mindset gave him the confidence it took to pull off that goal. Henry said, "I know it sounds stupid; don't be scared to make mistakes. That's stops a lot of players. My goal vs Man United. So many people ask 'why did you do that?' — cause I knew at Highbury [Arsenal's old stadium] I could do what the f*ck I wanted."
