JUDE BELLINGHAM has added another trophy to his cabinet. The football superstar has enjoyed a spectacular year on and off the pitch. Bellingham, 21, won the LaLiga and Champions League titles earlier this year in his debut season with Real Madrid. The midfielder finished the campaign with a sensational 23 goals from 42 appearances.
He was instrumental in England's run to the final in Euro 2024, during which he scored a spectacular overhead kick against Slovakia. The former Birmingham City academy graduate has now added the Fifa Intercontinental Cup to his trophy haul. Real Madrid ran out 3-0 winners over Mexican outfit C.F. Pachuca, who featured former West Brom, Newcastle and Everton striker Salomon Rondon at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar.
Kylian Mbappe netted the opener in the first half before Rodrygo doubled the lead in the 53rd minute. Vinicius Jr wrapped the result in the 84th minute as he squeezed his penalty kick under goalkeeper Carlos Moreno. Bellingham did not see the game through as he was replaced in the 88th minute by Arda Guler.
