Real Madrid

Bellingham's debut season with Real Madrid has been nothing short of a supreme success as he led them to success in La Liga and the Champions League. He finished his domestic season with<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-vs-borussia-dortmund-dani-carvajal-vinicius-jr/bltfaf76fbd9ffdcdbb" target="_blank"> a 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final</a>. He will now have to quickly prepare for the European Championship in Germany with Southgate's men.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking to the media, Southgate said: "The most important thing for him is rest, recovery. We don't have the players than you do at a club to be so cohesive. At this moment, for Jude and for the team, it's to recover and psychologically switch off."With Jude, he's played right to the end. He's super professional, so he's going to physically tick over but we need to see him before next Saturday."Have time with his family, clear his head. I'd rather not know. It's about psychological fitness. It's heavy, you have to be with the group as quickly as possible."

WHAT SOUTHGATE SAID

Bellingham has played 42 games this season with Los Blancos and scored 23 goals while providing 13 assists. The Englishman has been a major part of Carlo Ancelotti's side as they won three trophies this season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The 20-year-old will have to quickly recover as he will soon head to the England national team's pre-Euro training camp. The Three Lions will play their first game of the tournament against Serbia on June 16.
