Jude Bellingham’s compassion and popularity continue to grow at Real Madrid, as he displayed his caring side during the team’s Copa del Rey victory over Arandina. Despite being an unused substitute in the match, the 20-year-old midfielder made a heartwarming gesture towards a cold ball boy.
While sitting on the bench, Bellingham noticed the ball boy struggling with the chilly weather. He promptly took off his own Real Madrid blanket and wrapped it around the boy, ensuring he stayed warm throughout the game. The act of kindness made the child’s day, as he expressed in a post-match interview that it was his happiest day.
This wasn’t the only interaction Bellingham had with the ball boys that day. Before the match, he happily posed for selfies and pictures with a group of excited ball boys who were eager to be near the talented midfielder. These moments of joy and excitement further demonstrate how quickly Bellingham has become a beloved figure at Real Madrid since his move from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
On the field, Bellingham has made a significant impact for Real Madrid. He has scored an impressive 17 goals in just 22 games, including a memorable brace against Barcelona in the season’s first El Clasico. His performances have contributed to Real Madrid’s position at the top of La Liga, level on points with Girona and seven points ahead of Barcelona.
In recognition of his talent and potential, Bellingham was named the Golden Boy of 2023 and received the Kopa Trophy for the best young player in Europe at the Ballon d’Or awards ceremony in November. With his skills, compassion, and growing popularity, Bellingham continues to win hearts both on and off the pitch at Real Madrid.
