Jose Mourinho believes "there isn't a player like Jude Bellingham in the world today" after the midfielder impressed in Real Madrid's win over AEK Athens.

Los Blancos defeated the Greek side 3-2 in the Champions League on Wednesday after a 92nd-minute winner from captain Federico Valverde.

AEK twice took the lead, first through Aboubakary Koita and then Stavros Pilios, but Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe were on hand to restore parity on both occasions.

Madrid have now scored more 90th-minute winning goals than any other team in the Champions League, with Valverde's their ninth in the competition.

Bellingham's goal came after 32 minutes, as he expertly flicked Marc Cucurella's low cross into the bottom-right corner.

Bellingham has now been directly involved in 30 goals in the Champions League (16 goals, 14 assists).

He is the sixth-youngest player to reach 30 in the competition (23 years 128 days) and the third-youngest European, only behind Mbappe (20y 356d) and Erling Haaland (22y 76d).

Bellingham also led in final-third entries (14) and passes in the final third (26 – level with Eduardo Camavinga), while winning seven of his nine duels and winning 100% of his tackles (2/2).

"Since I arrived, he's been doing well," Mourinho said on Bellingham.

"He's a unique player, I think. There isn't a player like Jude in the world of football today. He's complete in every way.

"I don't have many words, because for me, he's an absolutely extraordinary player. And even when he doesn't have a great game, one of those spectacular ones… even when he doesn't, he always shows hard work, leadership, ambition, quality, attacking prowess, goals.

"He's an extraordinary player. I repeat: I'm very lucky to have a squad of this calibre."

On the win itself, Mourinho added: "Yes, very satisfied, obviously. We played against a very difficult team. A team that played very well, better than ever.

"Of all the matches we've analysed, none were even close to this performance. From the first minute, very well-organised, pressing very well, compacting at the back; direct play.

"[Luka] Jovic had an extraordinary game as a reference point. Players with legs, with the intensity to get forward from deep.

"They're the reason we didn't play a perfect game. It's them. They played a great game."
