Jude Bellingham reflects on 'Christmas break well spent' as Real Madrid star shares pictures of him playing cricket & darts and reveals hilarious gift dad Mark received

Real Madrid sensation Bellingham took advantage of La Liga's Christmas break and headed home for some festive family fun. The midfielder took to Instagram to share that he's been spending his time watching his brother Jobe play for Sunderland, playing darts and cricket and relaxing with family. He also revealed that he bought his dad - Mark - a cushion printed with an image of him and a young Jude.

Bellingham uploaded a carousel of photos to Instagram with the caption: "Christmas break well spent."

Real Madrid teammate Antonio Rudiger was a fan of the selfies Bellingham took with his younger brother. The German defender simply commented "Jobe", followed by smiling and winking emojis.

Bellingham has proved an instant hit in Spain since joining Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, while younger brother Jobe has impressed for Sunderland since leaving Birmingham City. Jude's parents have racked up their air miles this season keeping tabs on both their sons, so this time the 20-year-old made the effort to visit them instead.

After enjoying a low-key Christmas with family and friends, Bellingham will return to Spain and prepare for Real Madrid's clash with Mallorca on Wednesday, January 3.
