He is only 21 years old, and this is his second season at Real Madrid. However, Jude Bellingham is showing a maturity well beyond the average when it comes to taking on responsibilities. On this occasion, after letting some hours pass since what happened last night at the Santiago Bernabéu against Arsenal, he was the first player to speak out after the Real Madrid's elimination in Champions.

Bellingham apologizes to Real Madrid fans

As the only English player in the Real Madrid squad, he was the man chosen by the club's communications department to accompany Carlo Ancelotti at the pre-match press conference… and he wanted to send a strong message: “The most repeated word is comeback. The truth is that I’ve heard it a million times since last week. I’ve seen a million videos on social media, made by the fans, by the media, and they’re really motivating. It’s a night that was made for Real Madrid, a night that’s going to go down in history, something people will remember. I hope we can add another special night.”

However, his wishes didn’t come true, and Real Madrid ended up suffering a disappointing elimination in Champions in front of their fans, transmitting the feeling that, at no point, were they close to leveling the tie. Faced with this, Bellingham was open on his social media. “Simply, we didn’t meet the expectations of this club in either of the games. I’m sorry, Madridistas. We understand how much these nights and this competition mean to you.”

No one runs more than Bellingham at Real Madrid

For Jude Bellingham, everything had been going smoothly since he first stepped onto the field at Real Madrid. He quickly justified the more than 100 million euros Real Madrid paid for his transfer with his performances on the pitch… and he was a key figure in winning the LaLiga and Champions double. However, it is this season that he has begun to experience that things don’t always go as one would like.

Like the rest of his teammates, Bellingham is far from his best level. However, what is undeniable is that, even when things don’t go well, he always gives his all on the pitch. Proof of this is that he is the second player from Real Madrid who has covered the most kilometers in this Champions. Only Valverde surpasses him… having played 100 more minutes. He is a star. But his attitude is that of a true leader. “There are still opportunities to save the season, but it’s only possible if we stay united. Real Madrid will come back!” he concluded.
