Jude Bellingham did not feature in Real Madrid’s two-goal win against Arandina in their Cope del Rey round of 32 clash against Arandina, however, the Brit managed to win the hearts of fans from the bench.
Madrid had a successful outing at Estadio El Montecillo on Saturday night as they recorded a 3-1 win courtesy of goals from Joselu, Brahim Diaz and Rodygo.
Meanwhile, Bellingham, despite being on the bench, did not play a single minute as the Whites dominated the match and there was no need for him to wear his boots.
A video surfaced on X, formerly Twitter, where Bellingham noticed a ball-boy in the stadium feeling cold. The Englishman asked the boy to come over to him after taking his Real Madrid blanket off.
However, it appeared that the boy couldn’t leave his post after which Bellingham stood up and put the blanket around the teenager.

It is worth mentioning that Bellingham was signed by the Whites for a record €103m fee and the 20-year-old has been justifying the massive tag ever since making his debut with the 14-time Champions League winners.
Despite being 20 years old in a star-studded team, Bellingham adapted to life in the Spanish capital very quickly and in just a span of seven months, he not only became the team’s best player but also emerged as a fan favourite.
With 17 goals and five assists, Bellingham tops the goalscoring chart of the club and has six more than his nearest rival in the team, Rodrygo, who has 11 to his name.
Bellingham has 13 goals in La Liga this season in 17 matches, which makes him the top-scorer of the league as he continues to fight for Pichichi, an award for the top-scorer in the Spanish league, with Atletico Madrid’s Alvaro Morata, who has 12 to his name from 18 appearances.
It must be noted that Bellingham was on the radar of many top clubs during the transfer window with Man City, Real Madrid and Liverpool going head-to-head to get the 20-year-old's signature. In the end, the English footballer preferred Real Madrid — the club of his dreams.
