A direct comparison of the duo’s statistics with Real Madrid shows that the balance tilts decisively in Bellingham’s favour across several key performance indicators. The England international has completed a higher percentage of accurate passes, made more decisive attacking contributions and even fulfilled defensive duties with greater regularity than his counterpart.
Bellingham has started 31 matches across all competitions, logging 2,049 minutes, scoring six goals and providing four assists.
By contrast, Bitar has appeared in only 10 matches, logging 510 minutes and contributing one assist.
Bellingham has operated across three roles: 18 outings as an attacking midfielder, seven in the centre of the park and six on the left.
By contrast, Bitarch started nine times in the central midfield role and made a single appearance on the left.
According to global analytics platform SofaScore, Bellingham dominates key metrics such as shooting, dribbling, accurate passing, and defensive duels—both on the ground and in the air.
The youngster only trails in one category: ball loss. In La Liga, Petarchevski averages seven giveaways per match, whereas Bellingham records 8.4.
Bellingham’s higher figure reflects his more frequent attacking involvement and the considerable gap in match minutes (20 appearances to Petarash’s 5). In summary, while Petarash offers glimpses of promise, particularly in his ability to retain possession, Bellingham’s all-round numbers confirm his status as the more complete playmaker. The Englishman’s superior shooting, passing and defensive contributions make him the clear standout, even if both players continue to develop within the same tactical framework.
