After the final whistle, Bellingham ran towards RB Leipzig manager Marco Rose.

They exchanged a hug before Bellingham gave the manager his jersey as a memento of the match.

The two worked together during Bellingham’s time at Dortmund, with Rose leaving the club in 2022.

The midfielder followed Rose out of Dortmund a year later when he moved to Real Madrid for £115 million last summer.

Rose’s team led Madrid closely despite being unpleasant at the Bernabeu.

After acquitting themselves well in the first leg and narrowly losing, Leipzig created the majority of the chances during the match in Spain.

But it was Madrid who opened the scoring through Vinicius in the 65th minute against the rules.

Leipzig equalized in the 68th minute through Willi Orban, but could not find a second that would have taken the match to extra time.
