Real Madrid's midfield star Jude Bellingham appeared at a press conference to discuss tomorrow's match against Bayern Munich in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, which will take place at the Allianz Arena.

The player said: "I think it will be a tough match, and we are responsible for our delay in the score. It will be a very long confrontation, and we have to start strong. Any defeat is a disaster, and given our situation, it is like a final. We are playing for a lot, and we have to perform well. It's all or nothing. This is our mentality, and we won't hide. We want to believe in our chances because there are no other opportunities. It's a match we have to play and win."

He added: "It's a very important match considering our position in the league, and we are no longer in the cup. Tomorrow is like a final. We want to compete and win the Champions League. We want to play to win a title, not just watch the matches go by. It's an extremely important match, and we will give everything we have to win."

Regarding the possibility of resorting to penalty kicks, he said: "No one wants to reach penalty kicks. If you can win within 90 minutes, that's better, but we must be prepared for any scenario. We are playing away from home, and we need to make up for the first leg result and perform better in the return leg. If we reach penalty kicks, we must be ready, but it's preferable to secure qualification during regular time if possible."

Regarding his physical condition, he explained: "I feel good. It's frustrating to get injured. I missed the start of the season due to a shoulder injury, and the last two months have been tough. The hardest part is coming back from an injury and mentally preparing for matches. You have to put the injury behind you. The more minutes you play, the better it is. I played against Mallorca, against Atletico, and also in the first leg, and this boosts confidence and helps you improve gradually."

He elaborated on his development within the team, saying: "In my first season, I played in a more advanced position within the diamond formation, with players on the flanks, but my position changed. In the second year, I played more on the left side, and with the coach, I started moving back more. I can play well in several positions, which can be both good and bad at the same time because you don't have a fixed position. You have to adapt. When I score goals, I want to score more, but I must find the balance because I also have to defend. I must do what the coach wants."

Regarding his harmony with Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior, he said: "It's hard to answer because we've played many good matches together. They are players who feel more comfortable moving from the left side, and it's important to understand each player's movements. We can find that balance. We have a lot of freedom and play fluidly, and sometimes that can work against you, but they are very talented, and you have to believe in them. People see the glass half empty, but I'm not worried. I believe that when things go well, and I hope that happens tomorrow, we will succeed. I wish everyone the best tomorrow."

Regarding his gesture of drinking during the celebration of one of his goals, he said: "I have spoken about this before. You cannot mix your private life with your life as a player. Incorrect things have been circulated, such as that I like drinking too much or that I go out a lot. Both are not true. I am very professional and train daily. It was just a joke, nothing more."

Regarding Real Madrid's season, he said: "This is not the place or time to talk about that. In the league, at home, we lost many points, and you can't win the title against Barcelona if you drop this many points at your own stadium, as happened recently against Celta and Getafe. Also, away from home, you can't waste many points and win the league. However, I don't think the title race is over. We are behind, but we must first focus on tomorrow's match, because if we stay in the Champions League and reach the semi-finals, we can also improve our position in the league. Tomorrow is the big day, an important day."

Regarding Harry Kane's nomination for the Ballon d'Or, he said: "It will depend a lot on the team's achievements and what he delivers with the England national team. He is a great player. They will win the Bundesliga, and that pains me because my brother plays for Dortmund. It's a source of pride to have him in the England team, and over the last two or three years, he has proven his quality. He has developed, and he is a distinguished striker, and watching him is enjoyable. We will see if he can carry this level to the World Cup. Tomorrow, I hope he doesn't perform at his best or that we succeed in stopping him."

He concluded: "Bayern Munich is a team that always competes at the highest level. I played here with Dortmund, and they are a very strong team with high intensity and great quality. They maintain a high pace in many matches, and there are many reasons that explain their good level. Jamal Musiala has returned after his injury, and it was painful to see him in that condition, but I am happy to see him back on the field again."
