Jude who?! Real Madrid spell Bellingham’s name wrong on his locker as €103m star shines in Spain

The England international joined the Blancos from Borussia Dortmund during the summer transfer window for €103 million (£88m/$111m). Such a hefty price tag would weigh heavy around the neck of some, especially those that are only 20 years of age.

Bellingham is a special talent, though, and he has found the target in all four of his La Liga appearances for Real to date – allowing him to match a record previously set by the great Cristiano Ronaldo. His latest effort for the Blancos was a dramatic match winner in a 2-1 victory over Getafe at Santiago Bernabeu.

Bellingham reflected on his heroics in the dressing room afterwards, saying: “I’ve never heard a stadium sound louder in my life.” It was, however, impossible to ignore the fact that a spelling mistake had been made on the locker he sat beside, with Real opting for “Bellimgham

Errors such as that can be laughed off at present as Bellingham is enjoying a dream start to life in the Spanish capital. He has already endeared himself to a demanding fan base and will be back on domestic duty after the international break when Real Madrid play host to Real Sociedad on September 17.
