Real Madrid attacker, Jude Bellingham, has shared his emotions as his younger brother, Jobe, watched him play against Manchester City in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie.

Bellingham, who transferred from Borussia Dortmund to Los Blancos last summer, played a pivotal role in guiding the Champions League record holders to the semi-finals of Europe's top club competition against all expectations.

In a match where Madrid had to withstand City's relentless attacks throughout, the game extended into extra time after Kevin De Bruyne nullified Rodrygo's early goal in the second half, Eurosport reports.

Despite both teams' efforts, no decisive goal was scored in extra time, leading to a post-match penalty shootout. Madrid emerged victorious, prevailing 4-3 on penalties, with Antonio Rudiger netting the crucial spot-kick.

While the 20-year-old gave his all on the field, his brother supported him from the stands.

Jobe, who plays for Sunderland in the English second tier, witnessed his elder sibling don the famous Real jersey in a Champions League match.

This marked the first occasion that the younger Bellingham had watched his older brother from the stands since the latter joined Carlo Ancelotti's side.

“It was the first day my brother Jobe got to see me play for Madrid,” Jude revealed, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.

He added: “I feel really proud about those kind of things!”.
