The 20-year-old joined Carlos Ancelotti’s side for an initial £88.5m fee, with numerous add-ons taking the deal to £115m.
Bellingham recently netted his first goal for the club in a man-of-the-match performance against Manchester United.
Then, following a 3-0 defeat to Barcelona, he was once again on the losing side as Real Madrid lost 3-1 to Juventus in their final pre-season clash in the USA.
Despite the defeat, Bellingham was left in awe of Kroos’ sublime weighted-pass to Vinicius Jr.
The Brazil international then did the rest, finding the back of the net and making it 2-1.
Bellingham, though, was that stunned with Kroos’ ball, he could be seen applauding the Germany international.
The midfielder star in a 4-4-2 diamond formation alongside Kroos and Luka Modric.
“It allows us the opportunity to vary the system. I’m fine with not having a fixed system,” Ancelotti told Diario AS post-match.

“On an individual level we have learned the best quality of Bellingham, who is an attacking midfielder and performs better than as a central midfielder. We will have to see it during the season.”
