Before Real Madrid’s win over Mallorca on Saturday, Jude Bellingham had a funny encounter with someone who looked a lot like him. 

Carlo Ancelotti’s team moved closer to winning the La Liga title with a 1-0 win thanks to an amazing long-range goal from Aurelien Tchouameni. 

With this win, Real also kept their eight-point lead over fierce rivals Barcelona going into next weekend’s El Classico. 

A lookalike gave Bellingham a reason to smile before the game. They met on the sidelines. 

The player, who is 20 years old, laughed a little when he saw the person and gave him a hug. 

Fans thought the two looked alike and shared their thoughts on social media. One person said, “They really look alike.”

Another poster said the same thing, writing, “They look so much alike.”

Ever since he moved to Madrid for £113 million last summer, Bellingham has had a great season. 

In 33 games across all competitions, the England player has scored 20 goals and set up 10 others. He is a key part of Real’s hopes of winning LaLiga and the Champions League. 

But he had a bad game in the 3–3 draw with Manchester City last week, and he was put in the worst team for the Champions League quarterfinals so far. 

When Real comes to the Etihad on Wednesday for the second game, Bellingham will be hoping to turn things around.
