On the back of winning the trophy, Englishman Bellingham gave an incredibly emotional interview.

Days like this remind you. It gets hard sometimes and you wonder whether it's worth it but nights like this make you realise. I was alright until I saw my mum and dad.ā
Bellingham added: āNights like where they could have been at home by 7 o'clock but they're out until 12 on trips to take me to football. And my little brother who I'm trying to be a role model for. The best night of my life.ā You can watch the interview below.
When asked if that was a perfect season, Bellingham replied: āI think itās got to be up there. I mean, we missed out on the Copa del Rey thatās the only disappointing thing I suppose but thereās always many more years to try and get that one.

āBut I canāt have dreamt it better than this, Iām so grateful honestly. The teammates, the staff, my family, the team behind the team, the physios, everyone, this is a massive group effort and I just canāt believe it.ā
