During the discussion, a whole host of topics were put to the Colombian icon, surrounding his time with Real Madrid, the club’s current squad and more.

At one point, James was drawn on his debut season in Spain’s capital, a term which proved hugely productive from an individual standpoint.

And the 33-year-old, in his response, provided an insight into his admiration for a current member of Los Blancos’ midfield.

The player in question? Jude Bellingham:

“I scored more than 14 goals and 15 assists, I think. It was a spectacular year, similar to the year Bellingham had in his first season. I really like the way he plays. I think he could win a Ballon d’Or.”
