Jude Bellingham, who was spotted displaying compassion during Real Madrid’s Copa del Rey victory over Arandina, is still winning people over.
Thanks to goals from Brahim Diaz, Rodrygo, and Joselu, Carlo Ancelotti’s team defeated the fourth-tier Spanish team without the usage of the England midfielder.
Still, the 20-year-old saw his teammates advance to the next round and made one lucky ball boy’s day.
Bellingham was spotted sitting on the bench, bundled up warm on a chilly winter’s evening in a Real Madrid blanket.
However, Bellingham took off his blanket bearing the club’s logo and wrapped it around the ball boy after noticing that he was suffering from the cold.

The kind gesture made the child’s day, and in an interview with a Spanish reporter after the game he said it was his ‘happiest day’.
It wasn’t Bellingham’s only interaction with the game’s ball boys, before the match he happily stopped to pose for selfies and pictures with a gang on excited ball boys who were clamouring to get near the Madrid sensation.
The excitement is further evidence of how quickly Bellingham has become one of the most popular players at the club, following his move from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.

He has scored a career-best of 17 goals in just 22 games for the Spanish giants, including a brace against Barcelona in the season’s first El Clasico, last October.
His performances have helped Real Madrid to the top of La Liga, level on points with surprise package Girona and seven clear of reigning champions and rivals Barcelona.
In November he was named 2023’s Golden Boy and won the Kopa Trophy for best young player in Europe at the Ballon d’Or awards ceremony.
