Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham expressed his joy following the team’s 2-0 triumph over Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup final. The English midfielder played a crucial role, providing an assist for Kylian Mbappé’s goal. After the match, Bellingham highlighted his commitment to helping the team succeed.
“Our team looks different, but tonight everything seemed to click,” Bellingham said. “In the first half, we were still adjusting to each other, but in the second half, we were brilliant. It’s important to enjoy nights like this. The coach has given me the freedom to change positions on the pitch, allowing me to contribute where needed—whether pushing forward or dropping back to help build attacks. My focus is always on helping the team.”
