• The Real Madrid star was in England to show support to his younger brother
• Jobe Bellingham plays for Championship side Sunderland

Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham made the trip back to England to show support to his younger brother Jobe.

While the likes of Harry Kane decided to hit the beach with family to enjoy the winter break, Jude Bellingham was still in the world of football, but not necessarily as a player.

On Saturday, December 23, Bellingham was back in his native England to cheer Championship club Sunderland, which his younger brother Jobe Bellingham plays for.

The older Bellingham was pictured in the stands at the Stadium of Light as Sunderland hosted Coventry in a crunch Championship clash.

Unfortunately for 18-year-old Jobe, he had to endure some degree of embarrassment as Sunderland were thrashed 3-0 on home soil in the presence of his superstar brother.

As reported by BBC, this was manager Michael Beale’s first game in charge of Sunderland as he was brought to the dugout to replace Tony Mowbray earlier this week.

Coventry’s goals came from Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, Callum O'Hare and substitute Kasey Palmer.

It was an uncharacteristically quiet game for Jobe Bellingham, who has been in decent form for the Black Cats this season.

Despite predominantly being a midfielder, the 18-year-old has notched four goals this season as Sunderland mounts a genuine push for the playoff positions in the Championship.

In contrast, Jobe’s brother Jude has been a revelation at Real Madrid since signing from Borussia Dortmund last summer for £89million.

The Galactico has managed to notch 13 La Liga goals in 15 appearancces for Los Blancos this season, helping Carlo Ancelotti’s side to mount a genuine title challenge.

Across all competitions, Jude Bellingham has 17 goals in 20 games, as per Transermarkt.

Jobe Bellingham may not have the same impressive stats as his older brother, but he is forging his own path at Sunderland, which he joined from Birmingham City in the summer.

Notably, the 18-year-old uses his first name at the back of his shirt as a way of separating his career from that of his superstar brother.
