Supporters of Liverpool’s main rivals have expressed their delight at Jurgen Klopp’s side missing out on the signing of Jude Bellingham this summer after his heroics for Real Madrid against Barcelona in El Clasico.
The Reds were linked with a move for the Birmingham-born midfielder over a prolonged period of time, though ended up withdrawing from the race to recruit one of the most sought-after stars in world football back in April.
Such news prompted frustration among a number of Liverpool fans, who were in agreement the club had passed up on the chance to sign a generational talent, who instead joined Real Madrid.
Disappointment over this transfer saga has been eased by the instant impacts made by Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch, though none of their respective starts can compare to Bellingham’s at Real Madrid.
The England international this afternoon scored a brace in his first El Clasico, helping Los Blancos to a 2-1 victory over bitter rivals Barcelona. This performance has ensured the 20-year-old has now scored a remarkable 13 goals in 13 appearances for his new employers, in addition to providing three assists.
Bellingham’s continued excellence has not gone unnoticed by Liverpool fans on social media, nor too rivals of the Reds. Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), a selection of supporters from top six clubs have reiterated their relief the youngster did not end up at Anfield due to the undoubted force he would have been in Klopp’s side.
