Bellingham’s amazing first season comes to an end. He came from Borussia Dortmund for £88.5 million in the summer.
Bellingham did say there was still room for growth, though, like a true winner: “I believe it’s among the best seasons.
Although we didn’t win the Copa del Rey, there are always many more years to try again. This is beyond my wildest dreams.
“My team mates, the staff, my family, the team behind the team, the physios… this is a massive group effort, I just can’t believe it.”
After this short break, Bellingham will join the England team again before the European Championships this summer in Germany.
