The England international added that he is fit and could play after being substituted because of some problem he felt in his side’s 2-1 UCL victory against Braga three days ago.

Jude has netted 8 goals in 9 La Liga games this campaign, as well as 3 in the Champions League – as the Royal Club is at the top of the table with 1 more point than Barcelona before the 1^st El Clasico of the season.

Bellingham also claimed that he is already being part of a lot of high-pressure matches in his career, and he is excited to see the atmosphere of the El Clasico from the pitch, but he is not nervous.
