Real Madrid legend sends message to match-winner Bellingham after Juventus clash

A former member of the defensive ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid has taken to social media, to send a message of support and appreciation the way of current Blancos star Jude Bellingham.

This of course comes fresh off an important outing for the latter on Wednesday.

Real Madrid were back in action yesterday evening, kicking the club’s Champions League campaign back into gear in a meeting with Serie A outfit Juventus.

And when all was said and done, it was the aforementioned Bellingham who proved himself match-winner.

Amid fresh criticism with the overall level of his display, the Englishman responded with a close range winner during the 2nd-half, to make it four wins on the bounce for Xabi Alonso’s troops.

And as alluded to above, amid a challenging opening to the campaign from an individual standpoint, Bellingham has since received the backing of a Real Madrid club legend.

Taking to the comments section of a post on Los Blancos’ Instagram, Marcelo labelled the midfield talent a ‘Beaaast!!!!’
