JUDE BELLINGHAM has been observed sporting a large contraption on his face during a Real Madrid training session.

The Madrid’s training sessions for Man City clash have been documented in photos and posted online.

And it looked like the players were using some sort of breathing device, as Bellingham was one of several who were wearing masks.

Many viewers commented on the strange-looking monitoring apparatus on social media, drawing comparisons to Batman’s archenemy Bane.

Others in the audience voiced their excitement for Bellingham’s upcoming inaugural season.

A supporter predicted a “big season ahead.”

But someone else chimed up with, “MACHINE!!!”

Real Madrid just had a minimal victory against Mallorca. This is considered a momentum step to help Los Blancos create a confident mentality before the clash with Man City in the Champions League quarter-final second leg.

However, sharing after this match, coach Carlo Ancelotti brought less happy news to the team’s fans. The Italian strategist revealed that striker Rodrygo encountered some problems before the trip to Etihad.

“The victory over Mallorca brought us closer to winning La Liga. However, we still haven’t won the championship. The whole team needs to work hard in many more matches. We’ve had an impressive run of games and now it’s time to look ahead to next week’s match. I think the whole team played well against Mallorca. Everyone is fine. Only Rodrygo is the only player injured,” said coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Rodrygo’s injury will have a significant impact on Real Madrid’s attack in the quarter-final second leg against Man City. The Brazilian star is considered the hero of the Etihad Stadium team, having scored 3 goals and had 1 assist in 6 past clashes.

Real Madrid will have 3 days left to prepare before entering the clash with Man City at Etihad Stadium.
