The Champions League clash between Liverpool and Real Madrid in the fifth round was packed with drama, even after the final whistle, where the Reds emerged victorious with a comfortable 2-0 win.
Inside the Liverpool dressing room, the mood was naturally celebratory, while Real Madrid, though disappointed, was not without its moments of sportsmanship. Jude Bellingham, the standout Real Madrid midfielder, was seen waiting outside the Reds’ locker room for a special request—one that involved securing the shirt of a Liverpool star.
A video shared by the English channel TNT captures the scene: Bellingham, accompanied by two Real Madrid youth players, stood outside Liverpool’s locker room, hoping to get a shirt. Just then, Liverpool’s Ryan Gravenberch walked by. Bellingham quickly asked Gravenberch if he could fetch the shirt of his fellow Englishman, Trent Alexander-Arnold. Gravenberch, obliging, went in and returned moments later with the shirt, which Bellingham graciously accepted.
Although Alexander-Arnold missed the match due to a hamstring injury, his strong friendship with Bellingham was evident. The pair share a bond through their international commitments with England.
It’s also worth noting that Alexander-Arnold is rumored to be on Real Madrid’s radar, with the club reportedly interested in signing him in the upcoming summer transfer window, especially considering his contract is set to expire soon.
