Jude Bellingham’s joy was evident as he exclaimed, “Couldn’t have dreamed it better,” while lifting the Champions League trophy. The 20-year-old actively played a crucial role, contributing to Vinicius Jr’s second goal.

The young talent scored 23 goals across all competitions secured the league title and earned La Liga’s player of the season award.

Reflecting on his achievement, he expressed that he had always dreamt of playing in these games. When things got tough, he started to question if it was all worth it – but nights like tonight made it all worthwhile. He stated that this had to be one of the most perfect seasons.

He later revealed that seeing his parents’ faces made him emotional.

Bellingham’s schedule now includes joining the England squad on June 8th to prepare for Euro 2024. Despite facing challenges in the final, with Dortmund missing several opportunities in the first half, both Real Madrid and Bellingham rallied in the second half. They ultimately secured victory with late goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jr. Jude Bellingham’s, who played for Dortmund showed respect and gratitude toward his former club before moving to Spain.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, now with five Champions League titles under his belt, acknowledged the game’s difficulty. He admitted that it was “much more difficult than we thought it would be.” Ancelotti stressed improvement in ball retention and transition play, expressing disbelief at the victory’s magnitude. He remarked, “It seems like a dream, but it is reality.”
