Jude Bellingham stuns fans with request after first trophy with Real Madrid
Jude Bellingham has stunned fans with the request he made after winning his first trophy with Real Madrid.
Bellingham played a starring role as Los Blancos trounced Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final over in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Vinicius Jr scored a sensational first-half hat-trick in El Clasico, with compatriot Rodrygo Goes also on the scoresheet.
Robert Lewandowski bagged what was nothing more than a consolation for the Blaugrana, who had Ronald Araujo sent off in the second half.

Bellingham produced a stunning assist for the opening goal from Vinicius, threading him through with the most delightful pass in behind.
The 20-year-old was delighted after getting his hands on a first trophy with Real and wanted to celebrate in an unusual winner.
A video has gone viral of the former Borussia Dortmund man going over to fans in the stands and asking for a poster which he had spotted.
The poster was GTA themed and had mocked up pictures of he, Vinicius and Rodrygo looking like characters from the popular video game.
A smiling Bellingham was able to get his hands on the fan-made flag and proudly hoisted it aloft on the Al Awwal Park pitch.
He then got partners in crime Vinicius and Rodrygo involved as the trio took a picture with the flag.
Wearing the No.5 on his back as a nod to Zinedine Zidane, Bellingham has been a revelation at Real ever since his £88.5 million move from Dortmund, scoring 17 times and contributing further with six assists in 24 games.
He and the rest of his Real teammates are in line for a healthy bonus after scoring another victory over Barca.
Prior to the game, Defensa Central via Football Espana, reported that president Florentino Perez would fork out a €150,000 (£129,000) bonus in the event of a win.
The total fee stands at €4 million (£3 million) in total and every player and coach is set to benefit.
