Jude Bellingham was left furious after a clash with Lisandro Martinez but the Real Madrid midfielder kissed and made up with his Man Utd counterpart after their pre-season game
Jude Bellingham admitted he was left cursing Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez – before eventually making up with him.
Martinez was booked for a crunching challenge on Bellingham in United’s feisty 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid in Houston’s NRG Stadium. Bellingham, who opened the scoring after six minutes with an exquisite chip over new United keeper Andre Onana, admitted he was furious with Martinez and lost his cool in the dressing room at half-time.
But Bellingham, who joined Real from Borussia Dortmund this summer for £88.5million, potentially rising to £115m, said he and Martinez made up after the final whistle and put their differences to one side.
“The little tiff with Martinez is one of those things,” said Bellingham. “He’s a brilliant player. I came in at half-time and I was âf’ing this and f’ing that’.
