Speaking highly of teammate Jude Bellingham, Brahim Diaz celebrated Real Madrid’s victory over RB Leipzig on Tuesday.

WHAT BRAHIM DIAZ SAID

Diaz declared, “I love [Bellingham],” in an interview with Movistar following the game. Since the beginning, we’ve gotten along great. I am assisting him with learning Spanish. He’s a fantastic player, and I have fun playing with him. Aside from his appeal, he’s a wonderful man. We continue to demonstrate that we are Real Madrid, a fantastic club, despite the absences of Jude, who we really missed, [Antonio] Rudiger, and all the other players who are sidelined for an extended period of time.”
