“I wake up and I have to pinch myself” – Jude Bellingham on living the dream at Real Madrid

Jude Bellingham has been one of the best players in world football this season, and since joining Real Madrid last summer, his game has gone to another level. It is amplified by the fact that he has scored 20 goals in just 31 appearances in the famous white shirt, a remarkable return.

Bellingham opened on Sky Sports (via AS Diary) about life at Real Madrid, and admitted that his time in the Spanish capital so far has been like a dream.

“I try to go out on the field to do my job and help the team win games. People like my style of play. I move with the ball and that's fine. I try to connect with the fans while they're playing. I want them to the fans feel like another fan who plays and represents, because that's what it's about at the end of the day. If they can look at me and see someone who feels reflected and supports us, then that also helps he encourages the team. And his support means a lot to us, much more than you think. When the country is positive, the players are positive and the fans are positive, the team will play better.”

“I wake up and I have to pinch myself when I play England at Wembley or Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. I never dreamed of something like this so soon, but I thank everyone who participated in my journey.

Bellingham certainly hit with the Real Madrid support from the moment he joined from Borussia Dortmund. They will be hoping his fine form continues from here to the end of the season as the 20-year-old aims to have an incredibly successful debut season in Spanish football.
