Jude Bellingham was pleased with his performance, as Real Madrid got off to a winning start against AC Milan.

Real Madrid came from behind to beat AC Milan 3-2 in their first pre-season game of the summer.

Bellingham had a good game, as he played in an advanced midfield role.

The 20-year-old admitted after the game that he was pleased indeed.

He told the official club website: “Just a pleasure to start off with a win.

“It’s a different formation and a different role for myself. But I think I did well and I enjoyed it.

“I felt calm. I got on the ball straight away. As soon as that happened, I felt comfortable. The lads are unbelievable to play with.”

Ancelotti was pleased with Bellingham’s performance, and according to Ancelotti, new signing Jude Bellingham can provide attacking threat from midfield.

“We have always played with a centre forward (that was Karim Benzema), who wasn’t always a static nine” Carlo Ancelotti told reporters.

“But the system can be changed and adapted with the players we have [we can play without a number 9]. Jude Bellingham has arrived he can contribute a lot for us in the offence.”
