Jude Bellingham states he’s ‘got his smile back’ as the Real Madrid star shares an emotional farewell message to Lee Carsley following the interim England manager’s last game in charge

Bellingham has had a rough start to the season with Real Madrid. In his first 13 games for the Spanish champs, he only scored one goal.

With a slow start to the club season, Bellingham had a rough summer because he was on the England team that lost to Spain in the Euro 2024 final.

But Bellingham was back to his best on Sunday night, when he set up two goals in England’s 5-0 win over the Republic of Ireland at Wembley.

That game was the last one caretaker manager Lee Carsley was in charge of before Thomas Tuchel took over in January.

After the game, Bellingham wrote Carsley a 25-word goodbye message on Instagram.
