Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham sent a touching message to former club Borussia Dortmund after featuring against them in the Club World Cup semi-final on Saturday. Los Blancos beat the Bundesliga side 3-2 to knock them out of the competition and reach the last-four stage, where they will meet reigning Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain.
Gonzalo Garcia and Fran Garcia handed Madrid a two-goal lead within the first 20 minutes of the match. Dortmund then pulled one back just two minutes after regulation time as Maximilian Beier converted a goal. Kylian Mbappe then scored a third goal in the 96th minute to seal the fate of the game. Serhou Guirassy converted a penalty two minutes later but the Spanish giants eventually clinched the tie.
WHAT BELLINGHAM SAID

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Mbappe scored the winning goal with a brilliant overhead kick from Arda Guler's cross and later pulled out a special celebration as a tribute to Portugal and Liverpool forward Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away on July 3 in a car crash in Spain.
