On Tuesday, Real Madrid will travel to Bavaria for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich.
This encounter promises to be an exciting one, as two of the biggest names in European football will battle it out for a place in the final. Jude Bellingham will face Jamal Musiala, one of his good friends in the world of football. The two men studied together in England, before Musiala pledged allegiance to Germany by joining Bayern in 2020. In an interview with Marca, Musiala spoke about his friendship with Bellingham.
“ We always understood each other well on the pitch and we played good football. Also, we were roommates and always had a great relationship. Even today we are good friends because, on the pitch, we understood each other very well with the ball. I am very happy with what he is currently getting at Real Madrid. I’m looking forward to these two matches. Jude and I have always dreamed of playing matches like this, ever since we were little. »

Musiala also admitted he was not surprised by Bellingham’s incredible form in his first season at Real Madrid. “ I think Jude always had a great mentality as a player. He has great self-confidence and doesn’t shy away from big challenges, so I wasn’t surprised to see him like that in Madrid. Of course, its beginnings are not normal for a beginner, because you always have to have a certain amount of patience, but it’s something that, honestly, didn’t surprise me too much. I’ve known Jude’s mentality since I was little. »
“He’s a guy with a big heart and he always had a lot of affection for the fans. And now he’s doing the same thing as a star. He only respects the fans, and even more so when you become more and more popular. It’s important to show that respect and I think we’ve both kept it well over the years.
