If Liverpool thought winning six Champions League trophies was incredible enough, Real Madrid have taken it to places beyond recognition.
On Saturday, Carlo Ancelotti guided Real Madrid to another Champions League triumph when they beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the final at Wembley – a record 15th crown!
It was a star-studded event, with some of the world’s best on show, both on and off the pitch, including now-departed Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp.
The German would have been disappointed at the result because his former side were beaten, despite for an hour, being the better team.
One man who was happy at seeing Real Madrid win and Jude Bellingham lift his first European Cup was, Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The Liverpool right-back is currently on England duty where he is preparing for Euro 2024 – Bellingham will join his teammates after his celebrations with Madrid are finished.
This was the midfielder’s first season at the club after his high-profile move last summer from Dortmund and he has taken La Liga by storm.
The 20-year-old has scored an incredible 23 goals and supplied 13 assists in all competitions and now he has club football’s biggest trophy to his name.
As you can imagine, Bellingham was delighted when he reacted on Instagram to the Wembley triumph.
In the comments section of his post, Alexander-Arnold sent his fellow countryman a message everyone will agree with.

Jude Bellingham to win the Ballon d’Or?
Michael Owen was the last Englishman to win the Ballon d’Or and you feel it won’t be too long before an English player is lifting one of those coveted individual awards again.
Bellingham has to be top of the list, alongside Manchester City star Phil Foden.

You feel a lot will depend on what happens at Euro 2024 and Copa America. If England win, then Bellingham’s chances of winning the Ballon d’Or increase tenfold.
But the same could be said for a certain Vinicius Jr, if Brazil are victorious in the Copa America, because he scored in yet another Champions League final.
