Man City 1-1 Real Madrid (Agg: 4-4; Pens: 3-4)
Real Madrid
Speaking to TNT Sports, Jude Bellingham added that it is a joy to play under Carlo Ancelotti with Real Madrid.
“Our biggest strength is he finds a way to let a lot of boys play with freedom,” he said. “We’re so off the cuff. As a man he fills you with calmness and confidence. I caught him yawning and he said to go out and excite him.
“You have to see it as a responsibility, not a pressure, if you want to play for a team like Real Madrid. Today it came down to mentality.”
Bellingham added: “I could never dream of how it started [his time at Real], just the feeling you get playing for the club – getting to put the badge on your chest. Long may it continue, hopefully [there will be] more nights like this.”
