Jude Bellingham’s heroism continues as the English international pulled his side back into the ‘El Clásico’ against FC Barcelona in their own den on Saturday. In his first Clásico clash, the midfielder proved his €103 million fee’s worth as Real Madrid reclaimed the top spot in the La Liga table.

He disclosed, “He’s terrible at golf. I’m trying to convince him to play, but he’s not having any of it. He can’t be good at everything, can he?”
