Fans notice misspelling of Jude Bellingham’s name in Real Madrid dressing room

Life in the Spanish capital has already proved successful for Bellingham following his mega summer move from Borussia Dortmund.
He scored on his Madrid debut against Athletic Bilbao before netting twice and assisting Almeria.
The midfielder found the net against Celta Vigo before becoming the hero in the dying moments at home to Getafe last weekend.
In a video played in the locker room after the spectacular victory, Bellingham said: “I have never heard the sound of a stadium louder in my life.”
Fans on social media were quick to notice that his name behind him read “Bellimgham”, not Bellingham.
Speaking to X, a fan with laughing emojis said: “Why does his locker say Bellimgham?”
“I can’t even spell his name right on that locker,” another added.
A third said: “It’s really very poor from Madrid, how do they make this mistake?”

“Sorry Jude mate, you’re sitting by the Bellimgham locker, your locker is over there,” a fourth added jokingly.
Bellingham’s goal on Saturday saw him emulate a record set by Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.
He is the first Real Madrid player to score in each of his first four appearances for the club since five-time Ballon d’Or winners won there in 2009. Only Cesc Fabregas and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have done the same in La Liga.
