Experiencing Real Madrid Up Close Has Been Spectacular – Bellingham

Real Madrid midfielder, Jude Bellingham has come out to admit to feeling like a gladiator at his new club. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he feels amazing to be part of the biggest club in the world, and experiencing the club up close has been nothing short of spectacular.

Bellingham added that he currently feels like a gladiator because he is more recognized everywhere he goes.

His words, “You know that it’s the biggest club in the world, but when you experience it up close it’s spectacular. It is as if you were playing in a coliseum. You feel like a gladiator. It is very special. You can never imagine how big this club is. It is impossible to go out there and not be recognised. The club is a level above.

There are times when I go out to have a coffee near my house or go down town to eat. Then I go back home to rest for a while in the garden if it’s nice and sunny. If my friends are here, we go out to dinner and back home. It’s really nice. You meet people in the places you go to most. They don’t see you as Jude Bellingham the footballer, just Jude who comes to have a coffee and that’s great. The people I meet in the city look after me a lot. I feel at home. When I’m out I’m a reserved person and I don’t like interacting with too many people, since it’s difficult for me because of the language, but I’m always very polite.”

WOW.
