Jude Bellingham shows true colours after Bukayo Saka's Arsenal penalty miss vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid and England midfielder Jude Bellingham had no time for national team loyalties as he celebrated Bukayo Saka's penalty miss for Arsenal in the Champions League.

Just after ten minutes on the clock, were awarded a penalty when spotted Raul Asencio had pulled back Mikel Merino following a corner from . Los Blancos' players were outraged by the decision with the young centre-back pleading his innocence.

At this point it was too little, too late and the penalty stood. The VAR check ensured that had plenty of time to think about what to do from the spot and that seemed to play against him.

The winger stepped up and attempted a panenka but guessed the right direction and clawed the penalty away to spark wild scenes at the Bernabeu. As turned away in disappointment, the celebrations with Courtois were led by who chest bumped the goalkeeper before they reset for the next corner.

In July last year, Bellingham was painting a very different picture after Saka confidently stepped up to score in the Euro 2024 penalty shootout against Switzerland. After the match, the former Birmingham City man told reporters: "Bukayo won the Man of the Match and it was fully deserved.

"But the thing I'm most proud of about him is the penalty, to be honest. It's such a difficult thing to do, after the kind of adversity he faced.

"I'm so proud, he deserves it." Saka was subjected to disgraceful racist abuse in 2021 after he missed a penalty in the Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy at Wembley Stadium.

Since then, the winger has become a star for the Gunners and while he will be disappointed to have missed against Real, he is unlikely to let that affect him negatively.
