Jude Bellingham: Real Madrid is my life

Jude Bellingham says Real Madrid "is my life".

The midfielder helped clinch the LaLiga title on the weekend.

Bellingham said: "This club is always the most you can aspire to in football. It has always been the level I wanted to reach and could reach, but I didn't think I would get there so quickly. Now I am here, I feel grateful every day for representing this club is a big part of my life now, it's my life actually. It's always been the goal for me.

"My father always wore a Real Madrid shirt at home with Zidane's number 5. It's funny because the story has turned around and he gave it to me when I signed in the summer. I asked him who was that player he was wearing on the shirt and he told me that when I was older we would watch it on YouTube. Now, that I'm 5, it's a great story.

"I have to thank the club for their interest. There are many talented players and I was honoured that they thought I had the right characteristics and personality to fit in. When they called me and told me the plan and the project for the next few years it convinced me. I didn't even have to think about it."
