Ancelotti has previously spoken about the comparisons with club legend Zinedine Zidane but has now claimed he sees similarities with the former Brazil star.
"I have never seen Di Stefano play. In the previous press conference I made the comparison with Zidane… and… well, I am surprised by him, I would say the closest thing is like the first time I saw Kaka. I'm not saying that he is similar to him, but he has similarities to Kaka."
Ancelotti did down play talk about Bellingham being their main goalscorer after his superb start to life in Madrid.
"No, I don't think we have ever asked Bellingham to score goals. He is doing it because he has this fantastic ability to reach the opponent's area at the right time," he added.
"The respect we have for him is for the work he does… not for the goals. He is greatly respected for what he does on the field, which goes far beyond goals. He is a humble and hardworking boy. Entering the Madrid dressing room is easy."
