'I was alright until I saw my mum and dad's face' - Jude Bellingham close to tears after winning Champions League in spectacular debut season at Real Madrid

At just 20 years of age, Bellingham became a European champion following Madrid's triumph over Dortmund. Goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior - the Brazilian's strike assisted by Bellingham - helped Carlo Ancelotti's side defeat a plucky German outfit in London.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The win caps an outstanding debut season for Bellingham following his move to Spain last summer. The 20-year-old finds himself in Ballon d'Or contention after inspiring Los Blancos to another Spanish title - claiming La Liga Player of the Season honours in the process - and a record-extending 15th European Cup.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Speaking to <a href="https://x.com/footballontnt/status/1797012828336873734" target="_blank">TNT Sports</a> after the game, Bellingham said: "I've always dreamed of playing in these games. You go through life and there are so many people who say you can't do things and days like today just remind you why..."It gets a bit hard at times and you wonder if it's worth it. Nights like tonight make it all worth it."I was alright until I saw my mum and dad's face. The amount of nights where they could have been at home by seven o'clock but they're doing trips at 11 and 12 at night to take me to football. And my little brother there who I'm trying to be a role model for."Yeah, I can't put it into words, it's the best night of my life."

WHAT BELLINGHAM SAID

Bellingham and his team-mates can't celebrate for too long, with the European Championship in Germany right around the corner. The England midfielder has it pretty good right now. The Ballon d'Or might be en route and you imagine this won't be the last time he lifts the Champions League trophy, either.
