The expectation is that he will figure in 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania.
Jude Bellingham has issued a thoughtful response to Liverpool fans booing Trent Alexander-Arnold. The former Reds star was back at Anfield on Tuesday with Real Madrid in the Champions League and received a hostile reception from home supporters on Merseyside. The full-back's decision to leave his boyhood club this summer and head to the Santiago Bernabeu enraged many fans, who made their feelings known.
Real Madrid's big guns went missing, and Los Blancos failed to conjure up any Champions League magic in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Liverpool. Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham, in particular, were kept curiously quiet as Madrid saw their perfect start to their European campaign end in fairly unremarkable circumstances against Arne Slot's struggling Reds.
Jude Bellingham eclipsed Lionel Messi and his Real Madrid co-star Kylian Mbappe to make more Champions League history when taking on Liverpool on Tuesday evening. At just 22 years and 128 days old, the former Birmingham City prodigy smashed club legend Iker Casillas’s long-standing record as the youngest player in history to reach 50 appearances in Europe’s elite club competition. It is a staggering achievement for someone who has been commanding Real Madrid’s midfield like a veteran since his big-money move from Borussia Dortmund a few years back.
England boss Thomas Tuchel and his assistant Anthony Barry have opted to skip the chance to watch Jude Bellingham in action for Real Madrid against Liverpool at Anfield in the Champions League in another blow to the 22-year-old just days before the latest England squad is announced. Bellingham was omitted from Tuchel's most recent squad and will have to wait and see if he's done enough to earn a recall.
Jude Bellingham has been hailed as the "best player" at Real Madrid alongside Kylian Mbappe, but ex-Real Madrid star Pedja Mijatovic claimed that Arda Guler has established himself in the lineup as an undisputed starter, thanks to his lethal partnership with the French forward. The talented Turkish international has become one of Xabi Alonso's most trusted men after spending much of the 2024-25 season on the bench.
Roberto Firmino has weighed in on some of football’s biggest debates ahead of Liverpool’s blockbuster clash with Real Madrid, picking Mohamed Salah over Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr over Luis Diaz.

The latest round of action across Europe's 'Big Five' leagues has predictably produced a plethora of talking points, with Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid all in fine form. The Gunners are six points clear at the top of the Premier League after scoring yet another set-piece goal, and keeping another clean sheet, in their 2-0 victory at Burnley. Meanwhile, both Bayern and Real have five-point leads in Germany and Spain, respectively, after comfortable wins over the weekend.
GOAL runs the rule over the British players earning a living away from their homeland, with plenty more stars deciding to leave their home comforts in search of a better footballing life elsewhere.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has revealed that he and Jude Bellingham share the same barber, who they regularly fly out to Madrid from the UK to cut their hair.

Real Madrid turned in a complete performance against a poor Valencia side, with Kylian Mbappe grabbing two and Jude Bellingham finding form in Saturday's 4-0 romp at Santiago Bernabeu.

Jude Bellingham is once again at the heart of a controversial incident surrounding Sunday’s fiery El Clasico, which the England star played a crucial starring role in winning for Real Madrid.

Jude Bellingham could face a potential ban after being caught making an X-rated gesture during Real Madrid's 2-1 victory over Barcelona in El Clasico. The English midfielder was the match-winner at the Bernabeu, but his celebration has once again sparked controversy after cameras appeared to capture him repeating the same gesture that landed him in trouble at Euro 2024.
