VIDEO: Classy Jude Bellingham ‘crown’ celebration goes viral – with humble Real Madrid superstar passing ‘king’ title to team-mate during Champions League final win over Borussia Dortmund

The England international was not at his best in a continental showpiece at Wembley Stadium, but the 20-year-old was still able to make a telling contribution against former employers Borussia Dortmund. Bellingham teed up Vinicius Junior for the goal that wrapped up a 2-0 win for Los Blancos and a 15th European Cup triumph.

It was, however, during celebrations for Real’s first of the night that Bellingham’s antics slipped under the radar. Dani Carvajal powered home a header from a corner to give Carlo Ancelotti’s side the lead, with that set-piece delivery swung in by World Cup winner Toni Kroos.

The German playmaker was taking in his last appearance at club level, as he prepares to retire, and Bellingham was quick to anoint Kroos as a sporting ‘king’ when placing an imaginary crown on his head as jubilant team-mates headed in the direction of goal-scorer Carvajal.

Bellingham registered 23 goals himself in the 2023-24 campaign, with La Liga title and Champions League glory savoured during his debut season at Santiago Bernabeu. He now has Euro 2024 duty to come, with many suggesting that he is in contention for the prestigious Ballon d’Or prize that is awarded to the best player on the planet.
