Bellingham Can't Take It Anymore and Speaks Clearly a Day After Losing to Arsenal

The English player faces social media after Real Madrid's elimination in the Champions League

Bellingham has been one of those who has faced the media after Real Madrid's defeat in the Champions League. The Englishman has spoken on his Instagram account and has sent a message to the fans, who left angry and hurt last night.

The Madridist '5' understands and empathizes with his supporters. In fact, he acknowledges that they were not up to the circumstances required by this knockout stage. The truth is that Arsenal was better both in the first and second legs, and their qualification for the semifinals was completely fair. 

"It simply wasn't up to the expectations of this club in either of the matches. We're sorry, Madridists, we understand how much these nights and this competition mean to you."

Additionally, he highlights that there are still titles ahead to close the season in the best way: "There are still opportunities to save this season, but it's only possible if we stay together. Real Madrid will return!"

Beyond the fact that LaLiga and the Copa del Rey, as well as the World Cup, are still left, the truth is that Ancelotti's project shows evident signs of exhaustion. The Italian's cycle at the white club is going through its final phase, and in Chamartín, they are already starting to manage the next season.

Evidently, the players shouldn't get off scot-free. There are players who were not up to the circumstances. Mbappé, who has been the star signing, is one of them. 

Meanwhile, Bellingham has also dropped in performance. Despite this, both will continue defending the white jersey during the next season. However, their performance, like the rest of the squad, hasn't met expectations.

The Name of Xabi Alonso

Xabi Alonso is the best positioned to take the bench at Bernabéu. The Donostian is doing a great job at Bayer Leverkusen, and in Valdebebas, they have been talking about him for some time. Barring any surprises, he will join the club starting next season.

In recent days, Jürgen Klopp has also been in the spotlight. He currently has a job quite far from the benches.
