Bellingham's replacement at Madrid, in trouble with girlfriend for a confession

Real Madrid are having a near perfect 2023/24 season. They were champions of the Spanish Super Cup at the beginning of January, after beating Barcelona in the final. At the same time, they are top of the La Liga standings with a five-point lead over Girona and in the Champions League they took a big step this week to advance to the quarterfinals.

On Tuesday, Los Merengues defeated RB Leipzig 1-0 in Germany, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the European tournament. The only goal of the match was scored by Brahim Diaz early in the second half, after a great individual play in which he dribbled past several opposing defenders and shot with his left foot. This was a reward for the attacking midfielder, who had the responsibility of replacing the injured Jude Bellingham and proved up to the task.

However, he may not have too much reason to celebrate. During an interview with Sky Sports, the Spanish player was asked about his experience at AC Milan, where he was on loan between 2020 and 2023, and replied: "I will always thank AC Milan. I had three fantastic years there. I am grateful to everyone. I will always follow them, even in the future".

He then gave details about his relationship with his former teammates and shocked everyone with an unexpected confession: "I often hear from Theo Hernandez, I talk more with him than with my girlfriend." This may not please Luz Mendez, the Spanish model with whom he is reportedly dating since September last year.

He has other concerns as well

In addition to this curious situation with his girlfriend, Brahim Diaz has reasons to be worried. In the last minutes of the match against RB Leipzig in Germany he felt a muscle pain that prevented him from continuing on the field and Carlo Ancelotti had to replace him with Lucas Vázquez. This Thursday he will undergo medical tests, but there are fears of an injury that will prevent him from playing for several weeks.
