Jude Bellingham, who was spotted displaying compassion during Real Madrid’s Copa del Rey victory over Arandina, is still winning people over.
Thanks to goals from Brahim Diaz, Rodrygo, and Joselu, Carlo Ancelotti’s team defeated the fourth-tier Spanish team without the usage of the England midfielder.
Still, the 20-year-old saw his teammates advance to the next round and made one lucky ball boy’s day.
Bellingham was spotted sitting on the bench, bundled up warm on a chilly winter’s evening in a Real Madrid blanket.
However, Bellingham took off his blanket bearing the club’s logo and wrapped it around the ball boy after noticing that he was suffering from the cold.
The boy stated it was his “happiest day” in an interview with a Spanish reporter following the game, expressing how much the good gesture brightened his day.
Bellingham didn’t just mingle with the ball boys during the game; prior to kickoff, he cheerfully stopped to take pictures and selfies with a group of eager ball boys who were vying for a chance to meet the Madrid sensation.
The excitement is more proof of how rapidly Bellingham, who joined the team in the summer after leaving Borussia Dortmund, has established himself as one of the most popular players.
In just 22 appearances for the Spanish powerhouses, he has already surpassed his career total of 17 goals, which included a brace against Barcelona in the opening El Clasico of the season last October.
His efforts have propelled Real Madrid to the summit of La Liga, where they are currently seven points ahead of rivals and reigning champions Barcelona and level on points with surprise package Girona.
At the Ballon d’Or awards ceremony in November, he was crowned 2023’s Golden Boy and took home the Kopa Trophy for the greatest young player in Europe.
