Real Madrid's newest star, Jude Bellingham, has set his sights on winning the Champions League in his very first season with the Spanish giants. In an exciting twist, Bellingham will be facing off against his former team, Borussia Dortmund, in the final at Wembley on Saturday. This has been dubbed the "Jude Bellingham derby" and the winner will be crowned the best team in Europe.
Bellingham's impressive debut season with Real Madrid has solidified his status as one of the best players in the world. He was even named La Liga Player of the Year after helping his team secure the league title. With 23 goals and 12 assists in just 39 appearances across all competitions, Bellingham has proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with.
But before he can join his national team for Euro 2024, Bellingham has one more important match to focus on – the Champions League final. This will be the first time he faces his former teammates since leaving Dortmund last summer. When asked if he had spoken to any of them ahead of the final, Bellingham revealed that he received a "little message" from fellow English player, Jadon Sancho.
Bellingham and Sancho were teammates at Dortmund for 18 months and even won the German Cup together in 2021. Despite Sancho's temporary move to Manchester United, their bond remains strong and he has been a mentor to Bellingham since his arrival at Dortmund. Bellingham shared, "Jadon's always been someone who's taken me under his wing. He's a really good guy and he's helped me a lot."
Sancho's return to form at Dortmund has been a highlight of his loan spell, reminiscent of his performances before his move to United. Unfortunately, this did not earn him a spot in England's Euro 2020 squad, but Bellingham will be there to represent their former club.
As the anticipation builds for the "Jude Bellingham derby," fans can't help but wonder what the future holds for these two talented young players. One thing's for sure, they have a bright future ahead and the world will be watching as they face off on the biggest stage in European football.
