Bellingham was named Player of the Match in the clash between Real Madrid and Brest in the eighth and final game of the Champions League league phase. The midfielder, who played a key role in the win by netting the second goal, commented: "We feel really good in terms of how we took our chances and we were far more organised at the back. People are saying that the three up top worked well, so that's great."
“It's tough to play an extra couple of games. We've had the Copa, the Super Cup, our LaLiga fixtures as well… It feels like we're always travelling and playing, it's not easy. Although as I've said before, this Champions League format will be around for a good few years, so there's no use complaining about it."

Potential clash with Manchester City
“They're having a difficult spell at the moment but they're a team with immense quality under Pep. With the quality they possess, it's going to be very tough to beat them if that's who we get. I'd like to talk about Celtic too because they deserve to be in the draw, they've done a great job. We'll go into the game with humility."
