Jude Bellingham on Champions League win: The best night of my life

Jude Bellingham, a fan of Borussia Dortmund, praised Real Madrid's victory in the Champions League final and referred to it as the most amazing night he has ever experienced.

A player who is only 20 years old has been a surprising success in his debut season after leaving Dortmund in the summer. He played an important role in the last match where Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior scored the winning goals.

The main characteristic that has made Madrid's impressive, 23-goal campaign stand out is his love for playing in the most important matches.

Any uncertainties about his ability to adjust to the intense spotlight of Real Madrid, with the immense pressure of wearing that iconic shirt, were quickly dismissed after his acquisition for a whopping £115 million. And now, he has emerged as a victorious champion of the esteemed Champions League.

Bellingham is now part of a select group of only four British footballers (including Paul Lambert, Owen Hargreaves, and Steve McManaman) who have won the Champions League with a non-British team, following Madrid's victory at Wembley.

"I have always had the dream of participating in these matches," he stated to TNT Sports.

As you journey through life, there may be people who try to dissuade you from pursuing your goals. Occasions such as these serve as a reminder of that. There may be times when you feel discouraged and may question whether it's even worth it. However, times like these even popularize the notion that it is worth it.

I was doing okay until I came across my parents. There are days when they could have easily been back home at 7pm, but they stay out until 12am just to accompany me to my football games. I have a younger brother whom I am attempting to set an example for.

"I am having the most incredible time ever tonight."

He stated that it's a unique and exceptional sensation when you win your first title. A few of his teammates have even won as many as five or six, but they still advised him to savor the moment since achieving the pinnacle of success is one-of-a-kind.

Yes, it's crucial to uphold that standard, but don't forget where you started and relish the journey. They were more dominant throughout, but ultimately it's about seizing opportunities, and if they fail to finish us off, it will come back to hurt them in the end.

Playing for this club is challenging, especially when you're just starting out. Some folks don't grasp the club's significance and influence. Thus, being part of this team and adapting to the burden, given my achievements, is quite impressive. The weight of expectation is significant.

Within the team and staff, it's like living in a protective bubble, but once you step outside that space, it can feel like the weight of the world is bearing down upon you. Even incidents that occur during training can quickly find their way into the public eye, thanks to the speed of modern media.

This is the reason why achieving victory for this club feels extremely satisfying. You face and manage the stress, and afterwards, you have opportunities like this to relish until the stress reemerges.

On Sunday, Real Madrid is heading back to Spain to continue their celebrations. Bellingham is expected to have a significant role in England's performance at this year's European Championships. Although he has a week off to unwind, he acknowledged feeling weary.

He expressed that he will return to the national team on June 8 and hence he has sufficient time to take some rest and unwind. He stated that this week he must pay heed to what his body requires. There will likely be merrymaking to be had and he anticipates that he will require a beverage that is a tad bit more potent than Lucozade this evening.

Managing This Squad Not Difficult: Ancelotti On Fifth CL Win

Carlo Ancelotti has achieved the highly sought-after award five times in his career as head coach. No other coach has been able to achieve four victories, let alone five. Additionally, he has won nine out of his last ten finals in either the Champions League or other domestic leagues.

According to his interview with TNT, it appears to be a dream come true, but it's actually reality. He expressed his happiness regarding the fantastic season and the challenging game they just played. He noticed that it was tough, as usual, with the opposing team putting up a better performance than them in the first half, while they came out better in the second. However, he knows that this is how finals typically go, but they were able to come out on top with a win.

The club boasts a rich history and tradition. Our work environment is exceptional, as we collaborate without any issues. The vibe in the locker room is pleasant. I am grateful to my club and the team for being devoid of any arrogant or boastful individuals and for being so modest. Managing this squad this season has not posed any challenges.

We're definitely staying up all night.

What's my next goal? To always strive for excellence."

As a player and manager, I was elated to experience such joy from this competition. It is my goal to try and replicate this same feeling.

"I am fortunate enough to be part of the top-rated club in the entire world."

Real Madrid's Quality Is Incredible - Terzic

Edin Terzic, the manager of Borussia Dortmund, stated that the tide changed and it became clear why the opposing team holds the title of champions.

During the early part of the second half, the game was evenly matched for about 15 to 20 minutes. However, we were up against a team that possesses exceptional talent. It was disappointing to see how we let the opposition take control of the game through a set-piece. It's important for us to analyze and learn from this situation.

We have consistently demonstrated a threat when in charge of the ball, particularly on quick breaks. Unfortunately, we were unable to convert these opportunities into goals, which ultimately led to our failure to win the game.

Regarding Jadon Sancho's future, he has been performing exceptionally well for our team in the past six months. It took him some time to regain his fitness, but his expertise and talent can undoubtedly enhance our overall performance. Not only has he improved his own game, but he has also positively influenced the players around him with his extraordinary abilities. It's clear that he possesses exceptional talent.

We've been discussing the current situation at hand - the major football game taking place in his hometown. It brings me immense joy to know that he's participating alongside us. The atmosphere in the change room is uplifted by his contagious happiness and the aura he brings with him.

I am thrilled to collaborate with Jadon. We cannot predict what lies ahead for him, but we can be certain that he will participate in yet another Champions League final.
