Real Madrid supporters are abuzz with chatter about Jude Bellingham’s address in Spanish during the club’s La Liga title celebrations.On Sunday, Real Madrid marked their 36th La Liga triumph with a festive procession through the streets of the Spanish capital.
The jubilation ensued after Los Blancos clinched the title the previous weekend, following Barcelona’s 4-2 defeat to Girona. However, the revelry was momentarily deferred to maintain focus on the Champions League semi-final second leg against Bayern Munich.
Amidst thousands of jubilant fans at the customary celebration spot at Cibeles square, the team’s luminaries, including manager Carlo Ancelotti, club president Florentino Perez, captain Nacho Fernandez, and seasoned midfielder Toni Kroos, addressed the throng.
Notably, Jude Bellingham, enjoying a stellar debut season at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu since his transfer from Borussia Dortmund last summer, received an especially warm reception.
The 20-year-old English prodigy has netted 22 goals and supplied 10 assists across 39 appearances in all competitions, seamlessly acclimating to life in Spain on and off the field.Utilizing his Spanish lessons, Bellingham delighted his adoring fans by delivering a brief speech in Spanish, eliciting chants of his name from the crowd.“Thank you so much for your support this season,” began the midfielder. “One more great match at Wembley.
Let’s go to win. Hala Madrid!”However, some fans defended Gareth Bale’s proficiency in Spanish, noting that public speaking can pose challenges for introverts like him.
Bellingham and his Madrid cohorts aim to cap off their season with a double as they face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final on June 1 at Wembley Stadium.
