In his youth, Jude Bellingham, a brilliant player for Real Madrid, dreamed of playing for a rival team.

The midfielder, who won the Champions League and La Liga in his debut season with Real, is currently regarded as one of the best players in the world of football. 

 But according to Bellingham’s primary school leavers yearbook entry, which has surfaced, the 20-year-old had previously harboured dreams of being a player for a different team.

Bellingham began his professional career at Birmingham City, then moved on to Borussia Dortmund before signing with Real Madrid.

He went to Edgbaston, Birmingham’s Priory School.  

Jude Bellingham wrote in his primary school yearbook that he wanted to play for a rival team.

Bellingham had a genuine desire to play for Real Madrid’s rival team, Barcelona, when he was younger.

One of his former classmates shared photos of him on TikTok with the caption, “When I grow up, I want to be a professional football player for Barcelona and England.” Bellingham wrote this beneath the caption.

Bellingham’s ultimate dream when he was younger was to have a football tour with David Beckham.

Bellingham said that his greatest fantasy was to tour football stadiums with David Beckham and that his favourite thing to giggle about was Adam Sandler films.

Bellingham, who has already played 29 games for England, is expected to be a vital member of the Three Lions at Euro 2024 and he will be keen to leave a lasting impression.

Bellingham was given time off after Real Madrid’s Champions League victory, therefore he was not included in England’s warm-up matches against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iceland.
