“Facing Real Madrid is always a tough challenge, nobody can deny it. They are an exceptional club, and in this competition they can control many things with the experience they have in the past.
“Like last season there will be moments for them and moments for us. The longer we can keep our moments, we’ll be closer. We’ll try to do a good performance in Madrid and then here, with our people, do it again.”
Jude Bellingham has scored 20 goals in 31 appearances across all competitions. He will be a vital player for Real Madrid in pursuit of the Champions League title.
