Tony Bellew offered support and encouragement to Jude Bellingham after the youngster scored his first goal in what has been a challenging season
Tony Bellew sent Jude Bellingham a heartfelt message following the midfielder’s recent tough time on the pitch. The 21-year-old England international has had a hard time living up to the incredible season he had last year at Real Madrid.
He won the Champions League and La Liga whilst getting 23 goals in 42 games. After a tricky start to the season, with Spanish media attacking the youngster, he has finally grabbed his first goal in a 4-0 win over Osasuna as Vinicius Junior scored a hat-trick.
Bellingham took to Instagram following the game to share a picture of his celebration along with the caption: “Even in s*** times, giving up is not an option. Madridistas, thank you for your incredible support in the good moments and the bad ones.”

In just two days, the post has gathered over 3.5m likes and thousands of comments. One specific comment came from Liverpool-born-and-bred boxer Tony Bellew, who put: “The cream always rises!!”
The majority of other comments from fans included the white heart and crown emojis. This undoubtably shows the love that Madrid fans have for Bellingham even after the goal drought.
Bellew himself as faced tough challenges in boxing. Within his 34 professional fights, he won 30 and suffered three losses and one draw. All three losses came up against reigning world champions like Oleksandr Usyk. The Scouser retired after the Usyk defeat in 2018.
The boxer is a big football fan and is an avid supporter of Everton. He is such a fan, that his ring-walk music was “Theme from Z-Cars,” the same song that is played when the Everton players walk out onto the pitch. Bellew also played in Soccer Aid this year.
