‘Why have you put this child on the pitch!’ - Stunning story of how U14 Jude Bellingham silenced rivals with four goals in 30 minutes & started out on path to becoming a Real Madrid ‘Galactico’

A video on @TheSecretScout_ has emerged with a former Leicester City Under-16 player reminiscing about facing Bellingham in a Midlands academy game. The midfielder, who now stars for Real Madrid and England, scored four goals inside 30 minutes in a glimpse of what he was to become.

The story begins with how Leicester Under-16s had been warned there was an Under-14 player on the Birmingham bench, with the Foxes youngsters assuming he wouldn't be a threat - going as far as saying: "Why have you put this child on the pitch?" Bellingham appeared as a sub with 30 minutes to play and his side 2-0 down, going on to score four goals and leading his side to a 6-2 win.

Bellingham went on to play for the Birmingham first team 44 times, becoming their youngest player and youngest goalscorer aged 16. He was then sold to Borussia Dortmund before moving onto Real Madrid, where he is now starring as a 'Galactico' in La Liga.

Bellingham is next in action for Real against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last 16 first leg on Tuesday.
