Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham appeared after qualifying for the Champions League final, at the expense of Manchester City by winning 3-1, while the team won 3-2.

"It was a good evening and a good performance from us. It was a really enjoyable match. The most important thing for us was the defensive side of the game. We knew that once we dominated that we could attack more freely and this was the key tonight and in the other match."

He added: "Manchester City has suffered some injuries and we are also in defense, and this loud attendance before the match is great, especially for us younger players. When we are in full strength we are a much better team."

He concluded: "The difference always wants to play at its best and when you see that Halland is not in the team, it is clear that you hope that it is not dangerous, he is a good friend of me and I hope it is not very bad. You play against what you face and I think we are able to manage the match Good today. They still have other players who can play and cause harm.

And on Mbappe: "It is great to play with him. The matches are entering and you know that you can give him the ball and will affect things. Our job behind him and the rest of the three fronts are trying to put them in the best possible locations and I am trying to enter the penalty area as well."

He added: "As you know when Killian gets the ball in the areas he loves on the field, he will be dangerous. With the left foot or the right foot. He scored a few different types of goals today."

He concluded: "It is incredible for what he did in his career. I know he had a slow start here and took time to adapt to life here. Now he is flying and very good to see him."
