The Real Madrid midfielder expressed his admiration for Beckham, highlighting the former England captain's influence on the sport and his humble personality.
Bellingham, who has become a standout player for Real Madrid, acknowledged Beckham as one of the few English players to make a significant impact at the club. “It’s a real honor,” Bellingham said. “There’s a saying about not meeting your heroes, but honestly, he’s amazing. Despite all his fame and success, he comes across as a genuinely nice guy.”
In a light-hearted moment, Bellingham quipped, “He makes me look a little less attractive, but you get used to it when you're on video game covers.”
This encounter was particularly meaningful for Bellingham, as Beckham had previously reached out with supportive messages when Bellingham joined Real Madrid. Though they had communicated before, this marked their first in-person meeting, further deepening Bellingham’s admiration for the football icon.
Bellingham's performances for Real Madrid have earned him a spot as the cover star of EA Sports FC 25, symbolizing his swift rise in the football world. Beckham also congratulated him on his move to the Spanish giants, showing the mutual respect between the two English players.
With his career soaring, Bellingham continues to build connections with football legends while making his own mark at Real Madrid.
