The former Dortmund midfielder enjoyed a successful first season in Spain, ending the campaign with a double.

In a video that has since gone viral on social media, Bellingham was spotted asking Mourinho for a photo with his mother, who was at Wembley to support him. Mourinho gladly accepted the request, sharing a heartwarming moment with the Bellingham family.

Meanwhile, in a pulsating game in London, Dortmund had two great chances in the first half with Karim Adeyemi and Niclas Füllkrug coming close.

However, it took until the 75th minute for the Spanish giants to break the deadlock after Dani Carvajal rose high to head home a Toni Kroos assist, the German midfielder's last for the club.

With seven minutes remaining, Brazilian winger, Vinicius Jr sealed victory after firing home from a Bellingham assist.

Bellingham wins La Liga player of the season

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Jude Bellingham edged competition from Vinicius Junior, to clinch the Player of the Season in La Liga in his debut campaign.

The 20-year-old midfielder made it back-to-back Most Valuable Player awards, having done so in the Bundesliga in 2022–23 after an explosive maiden season with Los Blancos led to a record-extending 36th Spanish top-flight title.

Bellingham notched 19 goals in 28 appearances in La Liga, per Transfermarkt, registering six strikes in his first four games, matching Cristiano Ronaldo's long-standing record in the 2009–10 campaign.
