It is no surprise that Real Madrid have qualified for the final for the 18th time in this Champions League, and it was their opponents Borussia Dortmund who surprised them in the final. Between the two teams, there is one talented player involved: Jude Bellingham, who has just been voted La Liga Player of the Year.

This 20-year-old new generation of superstars, who has been aiming for the Champions League title since he was a child, met Dortmund, who knew him well, in a crucial game in his football career. Jude Bellingham, a mature mentality, is mentally prepared: "It's important to do your duty and not think too much about the emotional side. This final is seen as a new generation of football champions for him and teammate Vinicius Júnior, and the duo will be ready to do their best.

After the era of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the next generation of football champions was once recognized as the battle between Mbappe and Haaland, and last summer the two transfers decided to change everything - Mbappe stayed in Paris and Jude Bellingham moved from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid.

Mbappe chose to stay in his comfort zone, watching Messi lift the Ballon d'Or, the highest personal honour in the game, for the eighth time, not only losing to the Argentine king, but also finishing third behind Haaland. The 20-year-old Jude Bellingham won the Copa Award for Best Player Under 21 and the Ballon d'Or only ranked 18th, but he has just landed in La Liga and has played at the level of the king, and his influence is on par with Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival at the Bernabeu at the beginning of the year.

The Champions League final opponent turned out to be Borussia Dortmund

After joining Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham unleashed his attacking potential, making 41 appearances this season, scoring 23 goals and providing 12 assists, helping the team to the La Liga title and reaching the Champions League final again, he became the team's top scorer with 19 La Liga goals and was voted La Liga Player of the Year. Looking back on the three years of playing for Borussia Dortmund, they have missed the Bundesliga title, and the Champions League is just a "runner", the last eight of the 2020/21 season is the closest one, and the other two times have stopped in the group stage and the round of 16 respectively. I believe that even Dortmund did not expect that after losing a season of Jude Bellingham, they could reach the Champions League final again after 11 years.

Wearing the Real Madrid shirt against Borussia Dortmund in the final, Jude Bellingham said: "It's going to be a special night", adding, "As with every game, the preparation is the same...... The point is that I do my duty and don't think too much about the emotional side."

The young Jude Bellingham is not only outstanding in his skills, but also in a more mature mentality: "I'm really excited, since I started playing football, the Champions League final has always been my dream. I understand that opportunities are rare and I don't want to waste a second...... It's a battle I've always dreamed of in my life, and it would be foolish to come here and hide. ”

From Borussia Dortmund to the heart of Real Madrid in one season, Jude Bellingham's progress has been phenomenal, and it has only been four years since he went from Championship side Birmingham City to La Liga giants Real Madrid, the top of European football. "I've always wanted to dream as big as I can, and since I've grown up, I've wanted to fight at the highest level, and that's how I've felt all the way," "I worked hard and of course I was lucky enough to be lucky. I'm not going to run away from talking about how lucky I am, and now that I'm here, I want to enjoy every moment. ”
