Real Madrid's training ground witnessed a moment of playful banter as Vinicius Jr. showcased his impressive skills at the expense of teammate Jude Bellingham. The Brazilian winger left his English colleague trailing behind during a training session and couldn't resist sharing the moment on Instagram with a lighthearted "Sorry Jude Bellingham" caption.
The camaraderie between the two stars comes as Real Madrid prepares for a crucial Champions League matchup against RB Salzburg. The team enters this fixture with renewed confidence following their dominant performance against Las Palmas in La Liga, though their European campaign this season has seen just three victories thus far.
While Vinicius continues to demonstrate his technical prowess on the field, recent reports have linked him to a potential move to Saudi Arabia, with suitors reportedly preparing an astronomical €1 billion (£854m/$1.1bn) package. Meanwhile, Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke has suggested his former club should pursue Bellingham, advocating for a £150 million investment in the midfielder.
Bellingham's impact at Real Madrid has been nothing short of remarkable since his arrival from Borussia Dortmund. The midfielder has already contributed significantly to the team's success, recording nine goals and seven assists across 26 appearances. As Los Blancos aim to strengthen their position in the Champions League, Bellingham will be looking to add to these impressive statistics in Wednesday's clash with Salzburg.
The training ground incident, while humorous, underscores the positive atmosphere within the Real Madrid camp as they balance their domestic campaign with European aspirations. Both Vinicius and Bellingham have proven instrumental to the team's performances this season, and their on-field chemistry, despite the occasional training ground tricks, continues to develop.
