Real Madrid’s victory this Tuesday against Monaco (6-1) in the Champions League served to greatly reduce the tension between the Bernabéu crowd and the players who had received whistles last Saturday. The atmosphere calmed down a lot with Vinicius, the most notable, and also with Jude Bellingham, the second biggest target of the crowd’s anger. After the Brazilian scored the fifth, the Englishman scored the sixth after a great dribble that left the goalkeeper sitting down, and he celebrated by pretending to drink heavily. And laughing: “It was a joke on the fans and the people who say what they want,” he explained after the game in a brief interview on TNT Sports, one of the networks with broadcast rights to the European Cup matches in the United Kingdom and Brazil.
In recent weeks, insistent rumors had spread on social networks pointing to an alleged tendency of the player towards Madrid nightlife. “I know the truth. I know what really happens in my personal life. I know what I give to the game, what I give in the games and what I try to give to the team,” he said.
Bellingham regretted the spread of those rumors that had a certain influence on the Bernabéu’s discontent with him on Saturday, despite insisting that they have nothing to do with reality: “A lot of people say a lot of things. It seems that nowadays anyone can get in front of a camera and say whatever they want. And everyone just believes them, without any proof. I think there are two ways to take it. You can cry and complain, or just play along and enjoy it,” he said. “All the noise outside doesn’t really matter, but it’s okay to make fun of it.”
