Jude Bellingham made no secret that Real's performance against Liverpool was disappointing. The Englishman decided to apologize to the Madrid supporters.
Real Madrid left Anfield with virtually no clear-cut chances, relying on Courtois to avoid a heavy scoreline against a Liverpool side who, as Jude admitted, “are a brilliant opponent”. The Reds have brought Ancelotti's team back to reality this season: that's three defeats in five Champions League games.
“I have to thank and apologize to all the madridistas who followed us to England”, these are the words Jude expressed after several days of reflection following Real Madrid's defeat on Wednesday. The England midfielder took to his social media to apologize to all the Madrid fans who traveled to England to watch the Champions League clash.
However, the England midfielder believes now is not the time to dwell on what happened during the match. “We can't change what happened, we have to stick together and support each other in this next important run of games,” Jude said.
And this is the harsh reality: today, more than ever, Madrid needs unity in the team. Although the defeat against Liverpool once again sounded the alarm, Ancelotti's team faces a hellish schedule in December, with a match every three days until December 22 and five consecutive matches at the 'outside.
This unity also involves supporting the players, and the need to “help each other” mentioned by Bellingham, who refers to Mbappé’s situation. The Englishman defended himself after the match at Anfield, saying: “He's a wonderful player, but the pressure on him, because of his level, is enormous.” Jude also alluded to what happened in the match: “It wasn't because of the missed penalty that we lost. We weren't good enough as a team, they played better than us.”
