Jude Bellingham gave his blanket to a ball boy during Real Madrid’s match

Jude Bellingham continues to make an impression at Real Madrid, displaying his kind side during the team's Copa del Rey triumph against Arandina. Despite being an unused replacement in Carlo Ancelotti's lineup, Joselu, Brahim Diaz, and Rodrygo scored as Real Madrid defeated their fourth-tier Spanish opponent.

During the game, Bellingham made a nice gesture while sitting on the bench draped in a Real Madrid blanket to battle the chilly winter evening. When the 20-year-old midfielder noticed a ball boy struggling in the cold, he pulled his club-branded blanket and wrapped it around the youngster. This act of generosity improved the child's day, which he subsequently characterised as his 'happiest day' in an interview with a Spanish reporter.

Notably, he provided a brilliant performance against Barcelona in the season's first El Clasico in October, scoring twice. His performances have been crucial in Real Madrid's ascension to the top of La Liga, where they have shared points with Girona while retaining a seven-point lead over defending champions and rivals Barcelona. Bellingham was selected as the 2023 Golden Boy in November and received the Kopa Trophy for the best young player in Europe at the Ballon d'Or awards event in celebration of his remarkable efforts.
