After the game, the midfielder spoke to CBS Sports to reflect on the result.

When it was put to him that pundit Richards, a former City player, might be upset with the result, Bellingham beamed.

He then said of Richards: "He's still meant to be wearing the Madrid shirt after the little wager we had so I'm disappointed not to see that.

"Hopefully we'll see it for the semi-final."

Pundits on CBS have previously worn shirts of rival teams after losing wagers.

Jamie Carragher and Richards have both worn Arsenal shirts on the show.

Although Manchester United fan Kate Abdo has refused to wear another team's colours.

"My brother is here today and it is the first time he has been able to see me playing for Madrid. I feel really proud about that."

Bellingham then gave an insight into how veteran boss Carlo Ancelotti motivates his stars.

He added: "One of our biggest strengths is that we're so off the cuff.

"As a man he just fills you with calmness and confidence.

"Before the game, I caught him yawning and I said to him 'boss are you tired?'
