Bellingham's Message on Social Media That Vinícius and Mbappé Didn't Like

The annoyance Vinícius and Mbappé have felt over the praise Bellingham has given to a player on his social media

Real Madrid's victory at Mestalla has sparked various reactions around the world. Despite Vinícius Júnior's expulsion, Jude Bellingham hasn't commented on this on his social media. Instead of expressing his opinion, the Englishman shared an image on his social media that the Brazilian and Mbappé didn't like.

Through his Instagram stories, the Brit shared an image of himself hugging Modric. He joined this with several emojis, the most notable being the goat emoji. The use of this emoji clearly shows the respect and admiration the Englishman has for Modric.

Despite Vinícius and Mbappé's annoyance, this message is completely understandable from Bellingham. In a highly challenging game, Modric once again was one of the heroes who led the club to victory. 

Recognition of a legend

Arriving in 2012 at Real Madrid, Modric is one of the best players in the team's history. Having won countless trophies with the club, the Croatian still possesses the competitive spirit that has characterized him so much. Despite being 39 years old, this hasn't stopped him from continuing to help the team. 

His goal at Mestalla was crucial for the rest of the team to fight for the victory. While the three-point goal came from Bellingham, the Englishman showed his attitude by acknowledging Modric's importance.

This is why the Brit shared an image of their embrace, showing the deep respect he has for the Croatian. Despite Mbappé and Vinícius's annoyance, Bellingham's intention was to recognize the Croatian legend in the best possible way.

Another legend in the making

While Modric remains important to the team, his age suggests that the Croatian is in his last season with Real Madrid. Even with the significant loss this would be for the team, Bellingham has shown he has what it takes to be a future legend.
