Jude Bellingham delightedly informed Jose Mourinho that his mother has been a long-time admirer and humorously requested a photo opportunity with her.
Following his triumphant debut Champions League victory with Los Blancos, Bellingham ensured his family, including his parents and younger brother Jobe, were part of the celebratory moment on the pitch.
Amidst the jubilation, Bellingham spotted Mourinho, who was present as a pundit for TNT Sports, and seized the opportunity for a playful interaction.
Mourinho, known for his affable nature, happily obliged, posing for a photo with Bellingham’s mother as part of the joyful celebration.
Bellingham quipped, “Sorry about that; my mom’s fancied you (Mourinho) for years!”
Never one to miss an opportunity for a witty remark, Mourinho joked about Bellingham potentially joining him at Fenerbahce, his new club.
“Now you come to Fenerbahce!” Mourinho exclaimed.
He went on to add: “If next season you play Fenerbahce, calm down….”Bellingham’s inaugural season at Real Madrid has surpassed all expectations, marking a remarkable journey for the 20-year-old midfielder.
His pivotal contributions were key to the team’s success, securing victories in the La Liga, Champions League, and Spanish Super Cup.
With an exceptional record of 23 goals scored in 42 matches across different competitions, his impact on the field speaks volumes.
Looking ahead, he prepares to represent the Three Lions in the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament held in Germany.
