Jude Bellingham amazed fans by interviewing fluent Spanish following Real Madrid's Champions League win. The 20-year-old England international has had an incredible first season with Los Blancos, finishing in style by assisting the second goal in a 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund at Wembley.
This win marked Real Madrid's 15th European title and sixth in the last decade. For Bellingham, it meant securing La Liga and the Champions League double less than a year after joining the club from Borussia Dortmund in a deal worth £115 million.
Bellingham's performance on the pitch has been nothing short of spectacular. In his 42 games for Real Madrid, he has scored 23 goals and provided 13 assists. However, his impact goes beyond his on-field contributions.
Bellingham has also shown maturity and composure off the pitch, impressing everyone with his ability to articulate his thoughts clearly and eloquently. Despite having less than a year to learn Spanish since moving to Spain, he has already begun conducting interviews in the local language.
Speaking to Real Madrid TV, Bellingham expressed his happiness and sense of belonging. “I’m very happy because I have all my family here. Not my actual family, but this team is amazing. Every day it’s a pleasure to work with them. I’m very happy here,” he said.
He also praised his teammates and acknowledged the ease of playing alongside some of the best players in the world. “It’s incredible because I have the pleasure to play with the best players in the world and it’s easy when you play with them. My Spanish is good but not perfect so excuse me, I’m sorry but I try. For the last time this season, Hala Madrid!”
