Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham admits he feels like a "gladiator" playing at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Bellingham has been a revelation in his first season with Real Madrid.

He told Real Madrid TV: "It is known that it is the biggest club in the world, but when you experience it up close it is something spectacular. It is as if you are playing in a coliseum. You feel like a gladiator. It is very special.

"You never imagine how big this club is.

"It's impossible to go out there and not be recognised. This club is at a higher level."

On his playing style, Bellingham said: "I'm a mix of many things as a player, even from when I played in the Championship with Birmingham. I haven't just looked at one player and tried to imitate him. I'm myself, I'm Jude and I'm not trying to be someone else."
