Jude Bellingham played 80 minutes against Stuttgart after returning from an injury. In an interview with Realmadrid TV following the match, the Englishman stated: “Winning was the most important thing, and it was a great game.” We still have room for improvement. I’m delighted to be back here with the team and the supporters and feel lot better. I’m feeling well and it’s a unique feeling.

In the first half, Courtois had a lot of work to do, but Stuttgart had fewer opportunities in the second half. Even so, we played excellent pressure and won the ball back up the pitch, but they performed well when they released the pressure. The greatest goalie in the world, Courtois produces incredible saves. But we have to make an effort to ensure that he leaves with a clean slate.

Potential for development

“I believe it will take some time for all of us to return to our best selves. We’ll get along well after that. We still play really good sometimes. All we have to do is be more reliable.

Go back to Bernabéu

“These are the nights I’ve truly missed.” The boys had played a few games here, but it was disappointing to watch them as a fan because the previous game was three or four months ago. I will always remember the night I played my final Champions League match versus Bayern. Reliving that environment and feeling the love from the supporters makes me feel better.

“I frequently read on social media that I’m missing in the four or that Rodrygo is gone. They make an effort to make things worse. Kylian has shown up, and Rodrygo and I get along well and seem to have known each other for a very long time. We all like playing and are close friends off the pitch. We demonstrated that on the pitch today.
