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.
Jobe Bellingham delivered his first goal contribution for Borussia Dortmund in a 4-2 Champions League win over Copenhagen, earning glowing praise from coach Niko Kovac, team-mate Felix Nmecha and sporting director Sebastian Kehl. The 20-year-old, previously criticised for poor form, responded under pressure and showed signs of the player Dortmund believe he can become.
Drama erupted at Borussia Dortmund after Jobe Bellingham’s parents reportedly tried to confront head coach Niko Kovac following the midfielder’s half-time substitution in a chaotic 3-3 draw against St Pauli. The 19-year-old, who joined from Sunderland this summer, was taken off after a poor first half, sparking frustration from his father, who also acts as his advisor.
