Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham says he'll be ready facing former club Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final.

Bellingham and Real reached the final after last night's stunning 2-1 win against Bayern Munich.

He later said: "I'm very happy, my family was here and it's worth much more. For me it will be very emotional to play in the first final of the Champions League.

"Zidane is my source of inspiration, but also Seedorf. I hope to do like them.

"I never dreamed of playing this final against my former team."
