On the eve of the long-awaited Manchester City-Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham appeared in front of the media yesterday for the usual pre-match press conference. After receiving praise from Pep Guardiola, the man who could have signed for Manchester City last summer reconsidered his choice to sign for Real and not the English club. He also focused on a recurring problem that Real players are experiencing this season: racism. Last weekend, his midfielder friend Aurélien Tchouaméni was the victim of yet another racist gesture against Mallorca after scoring the only goal of the match. Jude Bellingham calls on authorities to do more to stem these phenomena.

“In away games, especially in La Liga, you almost get so used to it that I wasn’t even aware of the incident. This is a huge problem in itself. More needs to be done, whether it’s punishment and how you respond to it or how you respond proactively to these kinds of things. Nobody deserves this. This is definitely a call for those in charge to take control. I doubt that will happen. It’s a horrible way for a player to prepare for a match, knowing he’s likely going to be the victim of racist abuse. It’s disgusting. This shouldn’t happen.” launched the England international.
