Jude Bellingham made a special request to Jose Mourinho after winning the Champions League on Saturday evening.

Real Madrid picked up a record-extending 15th Champions League after claiming a 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund at Wembley, with goals coming courtesy of Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jr.

While it was Madrid's sixth Champions League in the last decade, 20-year-old Bellingham was lifting the trophy for the first time in his career.

Upon the final whistle, Bellingham brought his brother Jobe, dad Mark and mum Denise onto the pitch to bask in the glory before handing the latter a match-worn shirt and a kiss on the cheek.

While the group stood on the pitch, Bellingham left the party to embrace Mourinho, only to then invite the legendary manager, who was working as a pundit for TNT Sports, to meet his family.

Mourinho then politely shook hands with Denise with the pair posing for a photo.

Upon Mourinho watching the footage back with the rest of TNT Sports’ punditry team, Rio Ferdinand sparked into laughter and said: "Did you hear what he just said?

“His mum has fancied him for years.”

Bellingham enjoyed an extraordinary first season at the Bernabeu, netting 23 times in all competitions, winning the league title and being voted La Liga's player of the season.

"I've always dreamed of playing in these games," he told TNT Sports.

"When it gets hard at times you start to wonder if it's all worth it - but nights like tonight make it all worth it.


"It's got to be up there in terms of the perfect season. I can't put it into words, it's the best night of my life."

Bellingham, who spent three seasons at Dortmund before joining Los Blancos, added in an interview with DAZN: "I have to be honest, they [Dortmund] were the better team in the first half. They could’ve been two or three up.

"But it’s just that character... [we can] come back to haunt you. The club I’m at now is so special to me and so is my old club. It wouldn’t be possible without them. I'll always be grateful and always have respect for what that club did for me."
