Bellingham Admits Real Madrid Were Lucky After Arsenal’s 3-0 Game
Jude Bellingham has admitted that Real Madrid were fortunate not to have suffered an even heavier defeat against Arsenal after their 3-0 loss in the Champions League quarter-final first leg on Tuesday.
Arsenal dominated the match, with Declan Rice delivering a man-of-the-match performance, scoring two incredible free kicks in the second half. Mikel Merino added a third to seal a sensational win for the Gunners at the Emirates.
Bellingham, reflecting on the game, acknowledged that Madrid was completely outplayed by Mikel Arteta’s side. He said, “We’re lucky to get away with only three. We were nowhere near it. Arsenal were really good. Even though two of their goals were free kicks, they could have scored even more.”
Despite the heavy defeat, Bellingham is holding on to hope for the second leg, adding, “There’s still a second leg, and that’s what we’re focused on.”
Footballer Lamine Yamal speaks on the Ballon d’Or award and shares how he will still be happy if his teammate, Pau Cubarsí, gets the award.
“Last year, for me, Cubarsí was the best young player in the world. Either the Kopa award or the Ballon d’Or should go to him. There’s no difference between us.
“When I won it, I told him that he would be next. If he doesn’t win it for whatever reason, I will give it to him.”
Popular footballer Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on retirement and shares how he actually thought of retiring from international football after the 2026 World Cup.
“I thought about retiring from international football after the World Cup, but I spoke to the president, coach, and I am still here. I am an asset, I can help.”
He adds, “The young kids love me because they see me as an example, and that, for me, is the most important thing. I will continue to do that even when I retire after 10 years.”
Footballer Kylian Mbappé shares that he actually came close to signing with Liverpool.
“I was close to Liverpool. My mum was a big fan of Jurgen Klopp, and the favourite destination for my mum was Liverpool. She wanted me to go there,” Mbappé told The Athletic.
“I didn’t listen because I wanted to play in my city, Paris. I didn’t want to leave my country before I was someone. But yes, my mum was always saying, ‘Liverpool — you’re going to be there, playing at Anfield, it’s going to be insane for you.’ I was like, ‘OK!’
“All the time we were talking. ‘What do you think, Mum?’ She’d say, ‘For me, you have to go to Liverpool.’ I said, ‘OK, OK, OK!’ because Jurgen Klopp was an amazing manager. I met him and had a wonderful relationship with him. I had big respect for him.”
