Jude Bellingham stunned Rio Ferdinand with his coldest quote yet after Real Madrid sunk Bayern Munich

Jude Bellingham left Rio Ferdinand stunned with an answer he gave him after reaching his first Champions League final with Real Madrid.

Real produced yet another incredible European comeback at the Santiago Bernabeu, with former Stoke City and Newcastle striker Joselu popping up with a late brace to sink Bayern Munich late in the semi-final second leg.

Alphonso Davies had given Thomas Tuchel's side the lead but Joselu, on as substitute, was the unlikely hero for Los Blancos.

His winning goal was initially disallowed for offside before VAR intervened to reverse the decision.

Real are now chasing their 15th European crown, with Bellingham looking for his first.

In a story straight out of a film, the 20-year-old will line up against former side Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium on 1 June.

Bellingham, who has won La Liga with Real, was whisked in for an interview with TNT Sports immediately after the Bayern triumph.

And he had Ferdinand gawking after the Manchester United legend asked him if he was nervous beforehand.

He coldly replied: "Not really [didn't have nerves], I really wish I could say I did."

The Birmingham City youth product is truly living the dream at the moment, having scored 22 times after signing for Real in an £88 million summer switch.

He still finds himself in disbelief about what his reality is, adding: "I was looking around [before the game] and I thought, 'I couldn't be in a better position with better people.' Where else would you rather be?

"I was seven in Birmingham dreaming of nights like this. To get here and want to be somewhere else, it doesn't make sense to me. I'm just so happy to be here.

"They feel like family, the players feel like family, the fans feel like family. It just feels like they're pushing you on."

During the interview, Bellingham swapped his matchworn Real shirt for a specially designed top.

The jersey, which was turned the other way, had the phrase 'A por la 15' - which means 'Let's go for 15'.
