Jude Bellingham's actions in Anfield tunnel spotted after Liverpool beat Real Madrid

Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham was seen waiting in the Anfield tunnel to exchange shirts with England teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold following Liverpool's win on Wednesday night.

Despite playing the full 90 minutes and enduring a tough defeat, Bellingham was eager to swap shirts with Alexander-Arnold, who did not feature in the match but could potentially join him in Madrid when his Liverpool contract expires this summer.

The pair formed a strong bond during their time with the national team, which was evident when Bellingham waited patiently outside the dressing room doors for Ryan Gravenberch to return with Alexander-Arnold's jersey.

In return, Bellingham put on his own jersey before retreating to the visitors' locker room.

However, it was not all smiles for Bellingham, who faced boos from the crowd during the Champions League clash.

Superstar Kylian Mbappe, who chose Real Madrid over Liverpool, was greeted with a cacophony of jeers at the Bernabeu, while the hosts, without Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Daniel Carvajal due to injuries, were outclassed by the Arne Slot's team.

However, Bellingham did not accept this as an excuse, emphasizing the need to improve: “They were better than us. Sometimes we have to be honest.

“We didn't dominate the game and it wasn't clear what chance we had of hurting them. It's disappointing. We knew it was going to be difficult, but we would have liked to have played better.

“Mbappe gives us a lot and I'm sure he will give us a lot in the future. That can happen when you take responsibility. Anyone can miss a penalty and that's not the reason why we lost today. It was a collective question. We win together and we lose together.”,

And on the subject of injuries affecting their performances, he was clear: “It's not an excuse. They also had injuries and players who were not 100 percent.

“It's part of the game and you have to deal with it. When we had the ball we weren't threatening enough and it wasn't because of the injuries and the players who weren't there. We didn't We didn't take our responsibilities. They took the bull by the horns and they did it.”
