Present at a press conference before the Champions League clash between Liverpool and Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham was not kind to the English media: “I think I lost my smile a little after the Euro. I think I was mistreated compared to what I brought. Perhaps I felt a bit like a scapegoat. But in general, I haven't lost my smile at Real Madrid. It's not a question of pressure. I felt like I contributed to some big moments, but it felt like the whole world was falling on me after the finale. A few things happened during the tournament, like me not speaking to the media. I was having personal problems. Journalists were always trying to talk to my family, like my grandmother who didn't want to leave her house because of this.“
Bellingham felt like a scapegoat after the Euro final!
Moreover, the England international believes that the media have made too much about a possible arrival with the Reds in the summer of 2023: “It was only as close as the media said. All the clubs I have spoken to have respected me and my family, so I don't want to say anything disrespectful, but when Real Madrid comes… it's another level” he said before concluding on the Ballon d'or: “The Ballon d’Or? When we won the Champions League, it was our Ballon d'Or. I think, personally, it should have been awarded to a Madrid player. Especially in Vini. But that's my opinion and I have nothing against Rodri, he's a brilliant player, it's just about our season.“
