Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham has caused controversy among Galaticos supporters after it was discovered that he dreamed of playing for their bitter rivals, Barcelona, during his childhood.
Jude Bellingham’s childhood dream
It was revealed in Bellingham’s primary school leaver’s yearbook, in which the 20-year-old midfielder, as a child, declared his ambition to play for England and the Catalan giants.
“When I grow up, I want to be a professional football player for Barcelona and England,” a young Bellingham wrote in the school yearbook section labeled “When I grow up I want to be,” as per Daily Mail.
The lad’s dreams did not fully play out as he had wished; however, he was able to fulfil one, which was playing for his country, England, while the other part of his goals panned out quite differently.
Bellingham’s success with Madrid
Jude Bellingham’s career journey took a different path, despite his boyhood ambition of playing for the Catalan giants. He presently plays for Barcelona’s arch-rivals, Real Madrid, and has established himself as one of the world’s best players.
The England midfielder began his career with Birmingham City. He later moved to Borussia Dortmund, where his impressive performance in Germany led him to secure a move to Real Madrid.
Bellingham led Real Madrid to their 15th UEFA Champions League triumph while also beating his previous favorite team, Barcelona, to clinch the league title, in his debut season with the Spanish giants.
