Jude Bellingham likes to eat one specific meal on special occasions at Real Madrid, it has been revealed.
The 20-year-old has had an incredible start to life at the Bernabeu, scoring nine goals in nine league games and immediately becoming one of Real's key players.
Much was expected of Bellingham after he moved to Madrid for an initial fee of £88 million in the summer - but it is fair to say that the scale of his impact has even surpassed that.

He has continued to enhance his reputation as a future Ballon d'Or winner - he could very well be a leading contender to win the award next year - and is also starring for England under Gareth Southgate.
Bellingham has amazed his Real team-mates, with right-back Dani Carvajal calling him a 'crazy' player during an interview last month.
There has perhaps not been as much excitement around a new Real Madrid player since the arrivals of Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane - and Bellingham has been achieving such incredible feats out of position, having regularly played as a striker this season.

The Athletic report that his success has been aided by his diet, with Bellingham having a private chef that carefully maps out his meals each day.
The midfielder has also been eating out with team-mates, and it is added that he had a meal with fellow new arrivals Brahim Diaz and Arda Guler in the summer.
But Bellingham still has one meal in which he eats on certain occasions at the Bernabeu - a very British dish.
That meal is baked beans and eggs, which is described as one of his favourite dishes.

If you were wondering what desert Bellingham likes, it's fair to suggest that he probably enjoys some apple crumble, having starred in a Christmas-themed YouTube video while at Borussia Dortmund in which he made one.
