Jude Bellingham has left fans in awe at how he presented himself during his brilliant post-match interview after Borussia Dortmund’s crushing defeat to Rangers.
Dortmund face an uphill task in reaching the last 16 of the Europa League, with Rangers securing a sensational 4-2 win at the Westfalenstadion on Thursday.
Rangers went 2-0 up before half-time thanks to James Tavernier and Alfredo Morelos and took control of the first leg of the knockout-round play-off clash.

John Lundstram scored the Scottish side’s third early in the second half before Bellingham pulled one back for his side with a stunning strike.
Morelos added Rangers’ fourth to move Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men one step closer to the round of 16, with Raphael Guerreiro scoring late on for Dortmund.
Speaking after the 4-2 defeat, Bellingham urged his Dortmund teammates to fight back in the second leg and exerted true leadership skills with his must-watch interview.
The 18-year-old midfielder, who has been heavily linked with Manchester United and Liverpool, went on to call the Ibrox “one of the best stadiums in Europe.”
Speaking to BT Sport, he said: “The second half I realise that we’re going for it a little bit, but still we can’t be that open and we can’t allow them kind of chances.
“But you know there’s a bit of hope because we have the second leg and there’s not one person in that changing room that’s gonna give up and I won’t let them.
“We’re gonna go there and give everything. We know how hard it’s gonna be.
“For me personally, I can’t wait to play at Ibrox. It’s one of the best stadiums in Europe, in my opinion, when it’s packed on a European night. So, you know, bring it on.”
Bellingham’s refreshing interview and humble attitude earned him an abundance of praise on social media, with one fan calling him a “future England captain.”
Rangers will welcome Dortmund to the Ibrox on 24th February for their second-leg Europa League play-off clash.
