Jude Bellingham has named who he thinks is Real Madrid's 'most talented' player after his side's Champions League victory over Manchester City.

The 21-year-old started during Madrid's 3-1 (6-3 on aggregate) win over Pep Guardiola's men last night which secured their progression to the last-16.

Bellingham lined up beside a host of current stars in the footballing world including Kylian Mbappe and Vini Jr who controversially missed out on the Ballon d'Or to City's Rodri.

However, Bellingham singled out a different teammate who he hailed as the most talented in the side.

He said: "Rodrygo, so underrated, you know? For me, he's probably the most talented and gifted player in the squad.

"I think the things he can do with the football… We’ll be messing around, and he’ll flick the ball up somehow, and you’re like: 'How’d he do that?' I’m trying to do that. 

"I’m twisting my ankles and everything like that. It’s a pleasure to play with both of them.

“You put them in positions where they can affect the games, and they will win it for you.

"I think Rodrygo, another thing to mention, is that he’s the one who sacrifices the most, really. It’s clear that his favourite position is on the left. It’s important to note that he does a lot for the team defensively on the right side, which isn’t his favourite.

"But, he never complains, he just gets on with it and that’s the way we have to continue.”

The Brazilian has registered 12 goals and nine assists in 34 appearances for the 15-time European champions this term.

Darwin Nunez missed a huge chance at 2-2 in the clash against Aston Villa, and many fans think that's the final straw with the player.

A miss that accumulated 0.89xG, fans have taken to X to vent their fury at a huge, huge chance gone begging.

A second fan added: 'Enough's enough.'

The match finished 2-2 at Villa Park.

The miss can be watched here:

Fans have slammed Pep Guardiola for a 'brutal' decision made in the Real Madrid clash.

Going into half-time 2-0 down, Kylian Mbappe has scored two sensational goals to practically put the tie out of sight.

Supporters noticed the young and inexperienced Abdukodir Khusanov starting at right-back, his unnatural position for the first time ever, against the incredibly dangerous Vinicius Junior.

A star player does not start for Manchester City tonight. 

It is understood Erling Haaland will not start the game versus Real Madrid, due to picking up a knee injury.

Jude Bellingham has learnt his fate after his controversial red card in Real Madrid's 1-1 draw v Osasuna last weekend.

Given his marching orders by referee Jose Luis Munuera Montero for dissent, it was widely initially reported that the player could face 12 games on the sidelines.

On Wednesday afternoon however, MARCA have since reported that Bellingham will only miss 2 La Liga fixtures - Girona and Real Betis.

He will be available for tonight's Champions League clash against Manchester City.

In the UK, TNT Sports 1 will show the match live from 7 pm.

In Ireland, you can watch it live on TNT Sports and on RTÈ 2.
