When asked what a successful end to the season would look like, Bellingham said: “I think more trophies really. We still have a chance to get a couple of titles with Real Madrid and of course the European Championship in England. So I think success will be everything.” Third, but it takes a lot of work and a lot of sacrifices, and we hope we can do it.”
Speaking about his contribution to the match-winning El Clásico, Bellingham said: “It's been a really crazy week. I'm very tired.
“that it [scoring in El Clasico] Really special feeling. You kind of lose control of your body and how and what kind of natural senses are going through your head. “You do lose them, but it's something I really enjoy and I hope there are more of them.”
