‘Brilliant’ – Jude Bellingham singles two Real Madrid teammates out for special praise after Man City | OneFootball

Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham has moved to reveal his appreciation for two fellow members of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, on the back of the club’s meeting with Manchester City.

Real, of course, are fresh off another night to remember on the continent.

After making the trip to The Etihad for a Champions League playoff showdown with Pep Guardiola’s Man City, Los Blancos found themselves in a 2-1 hole inside the closing five minutes.

A trademark late show, however, saw both Brahim Díaz and Jude Bellingham find the net, to secure a 3-2 victory for the Spanish champions.

Speaking to the media on the back of the full-time whistle, match-winner Bellingham, in turn, was drawn on his side’s latest rip-roaring comeback.

Rather than focus on Real’s star-studded attack, though, the Englishman made use of the opportunity to single two of his defensive teammates out as nothing short of ‘brilliant’:

“I want to say something… Tchouaméni and Asencio were brilliant!”
