Jude Bellingham: What Ancelotti said after Real Madrid transfer

In a new documentary on his YouTube channel, Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham reveals that manager Carlo Ancelotti once jokingly threatened to replace him with his younger brother Jobe.

The comment came after the younger brother from Bellingham scored twice for his new club Sunderland in the 2-1 win over Rotherham last August.

“I will never forget when we came out, Ancelotti said to me: ‘We bought the wrong one,’” Bellingham said.

The 21-year-old claims the Italian manager told him he planned to play his younger brother in his position.

“Finally he gave me a little smile and my heart dropped. I thought, ‘No pressure for today,’” Bellingham recalled.

The pressure clearly had no effect on the older brother, as he also scored twice in the 3-1 victory against Almeria.

The first episode of Bellingham’s new documentary series debuted on the player’s YouTube channel on Thursday.

It explores his high-profile £88.5million transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Madrid, as well as the standout season that followed, which saw Bellingham finish as the club’s top scorer and help the club win La Liga, the Spanish Super Cup and the Champions League.
