Bellingham wants to stay in Madrid for a very long time
“It’s a real great evening for us, everyone remembers what happened a few years ago when we played them here. We are going in the right direction and this is a very important victory for us. The club and national team staff give me the freedom to play as I wish. After this big transfer, I have to rise to the occasion, whether with a goal or an assist.” And Bellingham is doing quite well, with a nice record of 10 goals and 3 assists in 10 matches in all competitions in the Merengue jersey.
