Since moving to Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham’s fame has grown rapidly, and during Sunday’s Super Bowl, his well-known celebration made its way to the United States.
Consequently, what happened?
With a tonne of goals and a fantastic presence in midfield, the Madrid midfielder has had an incredible start to life in the Spanish capital, helping Los Blancos climb to the top of the La Liga standings. Due to his prolific scoring, the Englishman’s celebration has become one of the most recognised in all of football. It looks that “Bellingham fever” has made its way to the US after he was sighted in a Champions League advertisement during Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
In his 29 games wearing white, the midfielder from Stourbridge has 20 goals and eight assists. Real Madrid leads La Liga after 24 games, five points ahead of second-place Girona and a whopping ten points ahead of Barcelona thanks to his efforts. They also advanced very easily to the round of 16 of the Champions League, topping their group to defeat Union Berlin, Napoli, and Braga.
WERE YOU AWARENESS?
With Patrick Mahomes leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a thrilling 25-22 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Super Bowl LVIII was everything an NFL fan could have dreamed of. Numerous football celebrities congratulated Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the Chiefs on winning their third championship on social media.
WHAT NEXT FOR BELLINGHAM?
The 20-year-old will be missing from the Real Madrid squad to take on RB Leipzig in their Champions League last-16 first leg clash on Tuesday, as he nurses an ankle injury picked up against Girona.
