Emotional Jude Bellingham chokes up on live TV after spotting family moments after winning Champions League final
AN emotional Jude Bellingham struggled to hold back his tears after winning the Champions League with Real Madrid.
Los Blancos triumphed over Borussia Dortmund with a 2-0 victory at Wembley.
Reflecting on the victory, Bellingham spoke to TNT Sports and said: “I was alright until I saw my mum and dad’s face there and my little brother there who I’m trying to be a role model for.
“I can’t put it into words, best night of my life.”
The Real Madrid midfielder paused during the interview with TNT to look for his family in the stands.
Bellingham’s close and extended family were in attendance, with his father Mark, mother Denise, and brother Jobe Bellingham spotted in the stands five hours prior to kick off.
TNT Sports showed the family eating their lunch on the then empty Wembley seats.
It caps off a stellar first season for Bellingham in Madrid.
The midfielder scored 23 times and assisted 13 in his 42 appearances this club season.
He added another to the tally tonight, as he assisted Vinicius Jr’s goal, which made it 2-0 to Real Madrid.
It leaves his trophy tally for the season at: One champions league, a LaLiga title and a Spanish Super Cup.
His only previous trophy came in the 2020/21 season when he played for tonight’s opponents, Borussia Dortmund.
