Jude Bellingham opens up on the one 'bad thing' he's found about playing for Real Madrid

Jude Bellingham opens up on the one 'bad thing' he's found about playing for Real Madrid

Jude Bellingham has highlighted one of the only negatives to being a superstar at Real Madrid.

Jude Bellingham has opened up on the one 'bad thing' about playing for Real Madrid.

The 20-year-old England international has set world football alight since making a move to the Bernabeu Stadium from Borussia Dortmund last summer.

Bellingham has 18 goals and six assists across his 26 appearances for Los Blancos, proving he is worth every penny of the £88million transfer fee they paid for him.

After securing his first trophy with the club in a 4-1 win against their fierce rivals Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup - where Bellingham recorded one of his assists - the midfielder is now eyeing more silverware with the La Liga giants.

Madrid will face Getafe in their next clash, where a win could see them leapfrog league leaders Girona, who currently hold a one-point advantage on Carlo Ancelotti's side.

Despite the strong form he has displayed and the trophies the club are competing for, the move has had one negative for Bellingham since arriving.

Speaking to Real Madrid TV, he reflected on the size of the club and opened up on the new-found fame he has encountered.

"You always know that Real Madrid is the biggest club in the world," Bellingham said.

"But then it's just different when you actually get to experience it. Especially at the Bernabeu, with the new set-up and how it looks and everything, it's just unbelievable. It's like playing at the Colosseum. You feel like a proper gladiator. It's just so cool, you just don't understand how big the club is.

"There isn't anywhere you can go where people don't recognise you.

"Sometimes it's a good thing and sometimes it's a bad thing."

Bellingham was recently suspended for the fixture against Las Palmas last weekend, although his side were able to secure a 2-1 win in his absence.

The Birmingham-born star is now in line to make his return against Getafe on Thursday evening.
