In a highly anticipated showdown at Wembley Stadium this Saturday, Real Madrid is set to face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final. The match promises to be a memorable encounter, especially for Jude Bellingham, who has been a standout player for Los Blancos this season.
Speaking on Monday's media day at Real Madrid's training ground, the 20-year-old English midfielder described the upcoming final against his former team as \"a fairy tale ending\" to his debut season with the Spanish giants.
\"I think it's a bit of a fairy tale kind of ending to a great season, being back home in England, playing against Dortmund, obviously a lot of factors for me that can make it perhaps a little bit emotional,\" Bellingham shared.
Throughout the season, Bellingham has impressed fans and critics alike, netting 23 goals and establishing himself as a key player for Real Madrid. His performance has not only elevated the team's prospects but also solidified his reputation as one of the brightest young talents in European football.
The final will also see Bellingham reunite with his former teammate at Dortmund and England, Jadon Sancho. The two have a history of collaboration and friendship, adding an extra layer of excitement to the fixture.
\"I spoke to Jadon a little bit, and he's someone that I respect a lot and that I know very well from my time in Dortmund. So yeah, it will be nice to see them until about nine o'clock,\" Bellingham remarked.
As the countdown to the final begins, fans around the world are gearing up for what could be a historic match, filled with personal and professional significance for Bellingham and his teammates.
