Jude Bellingham is determined to etch his name into Real Madrid’s illustrious history by lifting the European Cup at Wembley. The 20-year-old English star, who has had a stellar debut season in Spain, winning La Liga and being named the league’s Player of the Year after scoring 20 goals, sees Real Madrid’s rich Champions League pedigree as a source of inspiration.
Real Madrid, with 14 Champions League trophies, are the most successful club in the competition’s history. Bellingham believes that the current team has the ability to defeat any opponent if they perform at their best.
Reflecting on his journey at Real Madrid, Bellingham expressed, “It’s the reason I’m here. It’s a dream to play for this club, to score for this club, and to win the league. The club’s history in the Champions League is evident everywhere you look in the Bernabeu. I want to be a part of that history.”
The upcoming Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund holds great significance for Bellingham, who expects the game to be emotional. However, he is focused on approaching it like any other game, relying on the support of his family, including his brother Jobe, who have been his pillars of strength throughout his career.
Facing his former club, Borussia Dortmund, in the final adds an extra layer of intrigue for Bellingham, who shared a special bond with former teammate Jadon Sancho. Despite the competitive nature of the final, Bellingham maintains respect and admiration for Sancho, who played a significant role in his development at Dortmund.
