5 d. ago Jude Bellingham back in scoring form as Real Madrid edge out Juventus

It wasn’t a classic but the chorus from the Santiago Bernabéu was. It had been a while and they had missed moments such as this – but for the first time since April Fool’s Day, Jude Bellingham stood before the south end with his arms wide, listening to them sing Hey Jude.
