The emotional moment of Jude Bellingham’s struggle, who never gave up in the Copa del Rey Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid, is interesting to review. Because, it shows what he is like.
As is known, Real Madrid has just been eliminated from the 2023-2024 Copa Del Rey after being defeated by city rivals Atletico Madrid. Competing at the Wanda Metropolitano, Friday 19 January 2024, Los Blancos had to give up with a score of 2-4.
Atletico’s four goals were scored respectively by Samuel Lino, Alvaro Morata, Antoine Griezmann and Rodrigo Riquelme. On the other hand, Madrid’s two goals came from an own goal from Jan Oblak and a goal from Joselu.
In this match, Jude Bellingham and his friends were actually able to play well. Madrid was even able to catch up even though they had to fall behind twice.
However, when the match continued into extra time, Madrid’s performance dropped sharply. In fact, Bellingham almost vomited on the field.
Yes, fatigue has become Madrid’s nightmare since the match has not yet started. The reason is, Carlo Ancelotti’s team has a very busy schedule with the locations of one match and another being very far away.
In a period of 10 days, they had to play three tough matches at different match locations. Starting from January 7 2024, they face Arandina at El Montecillo Stadium, Spain.
After that, they have to fly to Saudi Arabia to play in the 2023 Spanish Super Cup. In this event, they competed for 120 minutes against Atletico Madrid in the semifinals on January 11 and faced Barcelona four days later.
After that, they rushed back to Spain to play the last 16 matches in the Copa Del Rey which ended in defeat. With this super busy schedule, it is natural that Real Madrid players are tired.
Especially for Bellingham, he is clearly one of the most tired. The reason is, in Real Madrid matches, the English footballer is almost never replaced. His central role in midfield made him so tired that he almost vomited on the field.
After suffering defeat, Ancelotti also highlighted the fatigue factor of his players due to the unreasonable schedule made by the federation. But even so, he was still happy with the hard work shown by his team.
“It’s not easy to judge this match. We played well, we competed until the end, we fought and came from behind twice,” said Ancelotti after the match as reported by Planet Sport, Saturday (20/01/2024).
“We have a disadvantage with Atlético because they have a week to prepare for the match, and on a physical level, they have a little more time,” continued the man from Italy.
That was the emotional moment of Jude Bellingham’s struggle, who never gave up until he vomited in the Copa del Rey Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid. Hopefully this information is useful for all readers.
