Jude Bellingham said he “knows the truth” after explaining the meaning behind his new drinking celebration following Real Madrid’s six-goal Champions League win over Monaco.
The England midfielder got on the scoresheet during the emphatic victory and, after finding the net, was seen making a clear “drinking” gesture as part of his celebration. The moment quickly drew attention, with Bellingham appearing to respond to noise around him.
Speaking after the game, Bellingham insisted the celebration was aimed at critics and outside talk, making it clear he is focused on what he believes rather than what is being said.
“I know the truth,” Bellingham said, as he addressed the gesture and the reaction it sparked.
Real Madrid’s dominant display against Monaco underlined their Champions League strength, with Bellingham’s goal adding to a ruthless attacking performance in a match that ended with the Spanish giants scoring six times.
Bellingham’s comments ensured the celebration did not remain a mystery for long, with the midfielder using the moment to deliver a pointed message after yet another influential night in Europe for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
