It’s one thing for a young player to have a big impact on a tournament as a forward or a wide player, but for Jude Bellingham to do what he's doing in central midfield, where people talk about games being won and lost, is incredible.
Has he exceeded expectations? If you've watched him playing like this consistently for Borussia Dortmund, then I'm not even sure he has! But when you put into perspective how young he is, at 19, and that this is his first time playing a proper starting role at a major tournament, then seeing him go about it quite this well probably has been a bit surprising.
