Young Gun Bellingham Blazes Trails, Earns Laureus Breakthrough Award
English midfielder Jude Bellingham has cemented his status as a rising star after claiming the prestigious 2024 Laureus World Sports Breakthrough of the Year award.
Bellingham’s Stellar Debut Season at Real Madrid
The 20-year-old has taken La Liga by storm since his £89 million move from Borussia Dortmund last year. He’s become a vital cog in Real Madrid’s midfield, already netting 17 goals this season. This includes the winning strike in last Sunday’s El Clasico clash against Barcelona.
Instrumental in Champions League Triumphs
Bellingham’s impact extends beyond domestic competition. He played a crucial role in Real Madrid’s Champions League quarter-final victory over Manchester City, helping them secure a penalty shootout win.
Laureus Awards Celebrate Sporting Excellence
Bellingham wasn’t the only athlete lauded at the Laureus Awards. Novak Djokovic secured his fifth Laureus World Sportsman of the Year award, while Barcelona’s Aitana Bonmati mirrored the feat on the women’s side. Spain’s dominant women’s national football team took home Team of the Year honors, with gymnast Simone Biles recognized for her incredible comeback with the Comeback of the Year award. Diede de Groot and Arisa Trew were awarded Sportsperson of the Year with a Disability and Action Sportsperson of the Year, respectively. Finally, the Fundacion Rafa Nadal received the Sport for Good award.
