Jude Bellingham continued his scintillating start to the season after earning Man of the Match in England’s 3-1 win over Italy on Tuesday evening.
The former Liverpool transfer target played a key role in the Three Lions’ second goal of the night, driving forward with the ball from midfield, and also won a penalty converted by Harry Kane.
This performance offered the Reds another unwanted reminder of exactly what they missed out on this summer, not that Jurgen Klop and co. needed reminding.
Bellingham discussed his future after the game and there’s bad news for anyone hoping the 20-year-old may end up on Merseyside at some stage.
Discussing Real Madrid, he said: “This is the club I want to be at for the next 10 to 15 years of my life. I am loving it there. Carlo basically said this position is where he sees me.”
