Since 2014, Real Madrid hasn’t won three consecutive times at the Allianz Arena. Jude Bellingham faces Bayern again after an exceptional season at Dortmund, aiming to make his mark against a team he’s never scored against.
In stellar form in Spanish football with 17 goals and four assists in 25 games, Bellingham is anticipated at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday night. Despite scoring only four goals in the Champions League this season against Group C teams, he has contributed in other areas during the knockout stages.
Never having scored against Bayern during his Dortmund career, the forward from Stourbridge arrives in Munich with a desire to leave his mark, especially after narrowly missing out on the Bundesliga title in 2022/23. With a different status from last season, he aims to unlock his goal-scoring record with Real in the Champions League final.
Having recently secured a crucial victory over Barcelona, Bellingham’s confidence is high. Despite challenges like an ankle injury and a red card suspension, he remains vital for Real’s success, both defensively and offensively.
Bellingham’s objectives extend beyond club success, aiming for personal accolades like the Ballon d’Or, which seems achievable given his current form and the upcoming opportunities.
