Richard Keys' claims over Jude Bellingham have left fans confused ahead of the Champions League final.
The Real Madrid superstar has scored 23 goals and registered 12 assists in his debut season and could claim the UEFA Champions League this evening.
But Keys had made claims Bellingham doesn't contribute to his team in the biggest games and needs to show up as Carlo Ancelotti's side face Borussia Dortmund at Wembley.

"Love Bellingham. He’s class. He has all the tools to become England’s best ever - but it’s time he turned up for a big game," Keys wrote on social media.
"Join us tonight from 20.30 Mecca @beINSPORTS_EN to find out if it’s now. Ruud Gullit, Arsene Wenger, Dwight Yorke and Marcel Desailly are all involved."
It is worth noting Bellingham has notched three times against Barcelona of all teams this season, including the winner against the Spanish giants back in October.
His influence has been humongous as they romped to win the La Liga title by 10 points in total.
So much so, the weight of England's expectation has been shoved his way ahead of Euro 2024.
Set to face his former side later tonight, Bellingham will also be reunited with former team-mate Jadon Sancho who is on loan from Manchester United.
“I have not spoken to Jadon or anyone at Dortmund this week," began Bellingham as he previewed the game.
"When we went through to the final we messaged each other and I said ‘I will see you there.’
"Jadon has always been someone who has taken me under his wing.
"When I arrived in Dortmund he was a really good guy.
"He is someone I have got a lot of time for and he has helped me a lot.”
Real Madrid are favourites to claim victory in London, with their price as low as 4/6 with some bookmakers.
