Speaking in a press conference before the game, the midfielder said: “It's football, it's normal on the field that emotions are getting high. You communicate with teammates louder than you would communicate with your mother and dad.
“For every negative interaction that you see, there are 20 positive interactions. That will get lost in the media, which is fine, as long as the team respects each other to have those honest conversations.”
And although there seems to be a tense atmosphere among the real group, Bellingham does not allow distractions. He has tried to continue banging Real in North Londs and has set his sights firmly when adding another memorable European night to the long catalog of the club.
He added: “It is another night. We have been in some games underwhelming, but have found a way to win. We have to score goals tomorrow and we have to make sure. Worry about whether we have scored more than one goal in recent competitions, that is not a concern for us.”
“I have heard it a million times since last week, I have seen a million videos – it's really motivating things,” Bellingham continued. “It's a night made for Real Madrid.
