Jude Bellingham wants Real Madrid aggression against Bayern in Champions League clash

Jude Bellingham wants Real Madrid aggression against Bayern in Champions League clash

The Los Blancos currently trail the Bavarians 2-1 on aggregate following last week's defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu in Spain.

"A very difficult game," admitted Bellingham to reporters at the Allian Arena pre-match conference on Tuesday.

"We're behind. It's important to be present and active. It's a really important game for our situation. It's almost like a final for us. We all know what tomorrows about.

"Every defeat in the Champions League feels like a disaster. It's a final. We need to put everything into this game. It's all or nothing. We need to be aggressive and do our all to win."

The England international made 132 appearances for Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund before his blockbuster move to Real Madrid in 2023, where he has gone on to equal the number of games played with the BVB.

"Bayern have always played at a high level," added the 22-year-old.

"I played here often with Dortmund and had bad experiences. The coach is loved by everyone. The chemistry among the players is great. The intensity they play with is amazing, and the way they've done that all season."

The Spaniards were eliminated by Arsenal at the same stage of the competition last season after having previously won the 2023/24 final against Dortmund.
