Jude Bellingham waited outside the dressing room after everyone else had gone to get Liverpool star’s shirt

Jude Bellingham waited outside the dressing room to get a Liverpool star’s shirt following Real Madrid’s 2-0 loss at Anfield.

Liverpool climbed back to the top of the Champions League table with a 2-0 victory over Real Madrid, courtesy of goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo. The match saw both Kylian Mbappe and Mo Salah miss penalties, but Liverpool maintained their perfect record in the competition, winning all five games to secure 15 points in their return to Europe’s elite tournament.

Meanwhile, reigning champions Real Madrid find themselves in 24th place with three games left, despite Jude Bellingham making his first appearance against the six-time European champions. After the match, cameras captured Bellingham waiting outside the Liverpool dressing room to exchange shirts. He eventually received the jersey of his England teammate and close friend Trent Alexander-Arnold, who was on the bench for the clash due to recent recovery from a hamstring injury.

Alexander-Arnold, rumored to be a transfer target for Real Madrid as his contract nears its expiration in the summer, has sparked speculation about a potential reunion with Bellingham in Spain. When asked about this possibility in the pre-match press conference, Bellingham dismissed the topic, calling it disrespectful and emphasizing Alexander-Arnold’s current status as a Liverpool player.

Liverpool now shift focus to their upcoming Premier League showdown against Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday. A victory could put Arne Slot’s side 11 points clear of their struggling title rivals, setting the stage for a critical encounter in the race for domestic glory.
