In a video that has since gone viral on social media, Speed instantly yelled out as Bellingham's name was mentioned as the winner of the award.

The Englishman is enjoying an outstanding campaign with Real Madrid, scoring a brace as his side won El Clasico against Barcelona on Saturday.

Bellingham has already scored 13 goals and provided three assists across all competitions for Los Blancos this season.

“I want to thank everyone who supported me in my journey. From Birmingham to Dortmund, now to Real Madrid. There is more to come," he said after receiving the award, as quoted by Sky Sports.

The former Birmingham City player joined Real Madrid from the German giants in the summer transfer window and has been nothing short of impressive.

Meanwhile, Lionel Messi scooped the ultimate award in France, ahead of heirs apparent - Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe.
