The player for Real Madrid says he is healthy enough to play in Saturday’s game at Barcelona and is looking forward to it.
Jude Bellingham, a defender for Real Madrid, is excited to play Barcelona for the first time in El Clasico. He chose a moment involving Cristiano Ronaldo from watching the famous match in the past as his favorite memory.
Bellingham hurt himself in Real Madrid’s Champions League win at Braga on Tuesday night, just hours after scoring his 11th goal in 12 games this season. But in an interview with Spanish TV on Thursday, the 20-year-old said he was ready for El Clasico.
This time, Bellingham told RTVE, “I feel good after the last Champions League game in Braga.”
I know that El Clasico has an effect on football fans, the media, and football in general. At the same time, I feel responsible to the club and the people for getting the three points.
The people on my team are very good, and I think we’ll win if we do everything we know how to do. I can’t wait for the moment and am excited about it. We really admire this competitor. I’m really excited about it, and I find it interesting. I’m excited for a great time.
When asked to name his favorite ECL event, he said, “I always remember the celebrations.” When Cristiano Ronaldo played at Camp Nou, I remember him doing the calma. When things like that happen, they stick out in your mind.
Real Madrid is currently in first place in the table, but they are only one point ahead of champions and fierce rivals Barcelona after 10 rounds of the tournament.
The Clasico on Saturday will be the first game to be played at Montjuic while work on Barcelona’s new Camp Nou continues.
