Jude Bellingham has made the Santiago Bernabeu his home. The English midfielder bagged the winner against Getafe last weekend, and raised his arms in celebration before 90,000 adoring fans, most of whom joined in a rousing — if rather cliched — rendition of 'Hey Jude' as Los Blancos saw out the game.
