JUDE BELLINGHAM has revealed his fear that people could unfairly compare his brother Jobe’s achievements to his on the pitch.
The England superstar, 21, enjoyed a fairytale first season at Real Madrid by firing them to both Champions League and LaLiga glory.

His younger sibling was also on the move last year as he left Birmingham City for Sunderland.
Jobe, 18, enjoyed an impressive first season on Wearside and scored seven goals while also continuing his own progression through the Three Lions youth ranks.
But he is often compared to his older brother - something Jude says is “not fair”.
Speaking on his , he said: “The worry is that people judge him based on my achievements.

"But I'm really conscious of that because I know it's something that people will always throw in his face.
"It's not fair because he's an amazing talent, amazing player in his own right.
“People will use him as a way to have a dig at me and vice versa, so we're almost like each other's biggest fans but also the biggest target for each other because we care about each other so much.”
Jude returned from a month out injured to help Real Madrid beat Stuttgart in the Champions League in midweek.

He faces Espanyol tomorrow just hours after Jobe lines up for Sunderland against Middlesbrough in the Championship.
Jude said: “He has to deal with more than what I would have had to at his age, and he deals with it with so much class. He wants to try and create his own legacy and his own path.

“At the end of the day as long as he's happy that's all I really care about to be honest. His happiness means more to me than my own.”
And despite having already lifted the biggest club prize on offer, Jude insists there is one thing that would top that and any other accolades.
He added: “Because we're of a similar age and we've played together for so long - in the street and on tufts of grass - to play with my brother for England, that would be the biggest dream of my life.
“That would mean more than any of the trophies, especially if we managed to do it on a consistent basis and play at a major tournament together, win things together.
“Honestly, nothing would even get close to that, nothing.”
