Real Madrid midfield star Jude Bellingham appeared in press statements after beating Atalanta 3-2 in the sixth round of the Champions League.

The player said: “It is really important for us to get the three points tonight. We knew how difficult it was. It was important that we get through the game.”

He added: “I understand from the outside that there is Expectations of success from the three of us [Bellingham, Vinicius Junior and Kilian Mbappe] and the whole team. It is good that we scored, but there is no point when we do not win the matches.”

He concluded: “It is preferable that we finish the first round in the top eight, as that will be.” "There are fewer games and a chance to reorganize the team a little bit. It would be good to get into the top eight and get some rest at some point."
