Bellingham and Vinicius went head-to-head during multiple matches, and there were a few comedic moments. The Brazilian celebrated a goal by imitating Bellingham’s open arms celebration, which he has adopted his making the move to Real Madrid in the summer.

At one stage, Bellingham was about to score a goal, but his controller turned off at the exact wrong moment. This was highly amusing for Vinicius, who was seen breaking into laughter following his teammate’s misfortune.

Bellingham has settled into life in Madrid with ease, and he has become a big hit in the dressing room. Although he won’t be overly pleased with this little incident, he will be delighted with the start that he has made at Real Madrid.
