Jude Bellingham, a star player for Real Madrid, opened up on what worries him during a pregame news conference. He mentioned that he joined the team for matches like Wednesday's UEFA Champions League quarter final second leg against Manchester City.

Even at just 20 years old, Bellingham has already shown that he is a guy for big moments, as evidenced by his performances in this year's top-of-the-table match against Girona and the October El Clasico versus FC Barcelona. 

When asked if he felt under pressure ahead of Madrid's most important game of the year. He said, "I'm more nervous about this [the press conference]. These are the games you join Real Madrid for, I can't wait to get out and get playing."

Bellingham believes that Madrid's thumping of City in the second leg of the UCL semi final last term will not affect who advances, despite the fact that Madrid still has to deal with the ghost of that 4-0 loss.

The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder added, "I've been on the end of big defeats before, you can understand the frustration, but it is a new game - you don't start 4-0 down. The lads have spoken a bit about it, but are professional and will let that be the past."

“I want to score more and more” : Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham 

After completing his summer move from Borussia Dortmund, Bellingham acknowledged that he is not "anxious" when he doesn't score or win, even though he wasn't supposed to be Spain's leading midfield scorer.It is evident that Bellingham's manager Carlo Ancelotti recognised the Englishman's potential to score goals, and Bellingham seized the chance to express his appreciation to the management.

Jude Bellingham said, "I didn't expect to score so many goals, and of course now I want to score more and more.  He makes you believe you are a better player and he is a top person as well. He gives me freedom to roam the pitch, and he is a top person. He makes you feel comfortable. He has been amazing at helping me adapt and understand my own potential."
