Jude Bellingham had a humorous experience with a person who resembled him prior to Real Madrid’s victory over Mallorca on Saturday.
An incredible long-range strike from Aurelien Tchouameni gave Carlo Ancelotti’s team a 1-0 victory that put them one step closer to capturing the La Liga championship.
With this victory, Real maintained an eight-point advantage over bitter rivals Barcelona heading into the El Classico the following weekend.
Before the game, Bellingham had cause to smile thanks to a lookalike. There, on the sidelines, they met.
The twenty-year-old footballer offered the man a hug and grinned a little when he saw him.
Supporters expressed their opinions on social media, saying they felt the two looked alike. Someone remarked, “They look so similar.”
The identical comment was made by another commenter, who wrote, “They look so much alike.”
Bellingham had a fantastic season ever since he arrived to Madrid for £113 million last summer.
The England player has 20 goals and 10 assists in 33 games in all competitions. He is essential to Real Madrid’s chances of winning both the Champions League and La Liga.
However, he played poorly in the 3–3 draw with Manchester City the previous week, and as a result, he was selected for the weakest team in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
Bellingham hopes to make a difference when Real visits the Etihad on Wednesday during the second game.
