Jude Bellingham wore specially designed shirt for emotional TNT interview after Real Madrid beat Bayern Munich

Jude Bellingham swapped out his matchworn Real Madrid kit for a specially designed shirt during an emotional interview with TNT Sports after the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich.

Bellingham was part of the Real side that produced one of the most memorable comebacks in Champions League history to win 4-3 on aggregate against Bayern.

Carlo Ancelotti's side couldn't break goalkeeper Manuel Neuer's resistance during the first hour, before Alphonso Davies put the German giants ahead with a curling right-footed effort.

But Neuer failed to collect a long distance shot on 88 minutes, allowing substitute Joselu to nip in and poke the ball past the 38-year-old goalkeeper.

And the comeback was complete in the first minute of stoppage time, Joselu tapping home a cross from Antonio Rudiger. The goal was initially given as offside, before that decision was overturned by VAR.

After the game, England midfielder Bellingham was on interview duty for TNT Sports - and gave an emotional verdict on the chaos that had just unfolded at the Bernabeu.

He said: "I was looking around [before the game] and I thought, 'I couldn't be in a better position with better people.' Where else would you rather be?

"I was seven in Birmingham dreaming of nights like this. To get here and want to be somewhere else, it doesn't make sense to me. I'm just so happy to be here.

"They feel like family, the players feel like family, the fans feel like family. It just feels like they're pushing you on."

The Real Madrid number five wore a special shirt during the interview, featuring the phrase 'A por la 15' - literally meaning 'Let's go for 15'.

Los Blancos have 14 Champions League titles to their name, and will make it 15 if they defeat Borussia Dortmund in the final at Wembley.
