Jude Bellingham leaves fans in stitches with reaction to winning 2026 World Cup award: “Didn’t know it was a thing”

Jude Bellingham leaves fans in stitches with reaction to winning 2026 World Cup award: “Didn’t know it was a thing” On the whole, the 2026 World Cup was successful for a number of Real Madrid players. Marc Cucurella helped Spain win the tournament, while Kylian Mbappe made history by winning the Golden Boot – not only did he become the first player in the history to win the award back-to-back, but he also confirmed himself as the top goalscorer in World Cup history. Jude Bellingham, who is reportedly in talks to sign a new Real Madrid contract , also had an excellent tournament in North America. He was arguably England’s best performer, as he racked up seven goals and one assist on the way to a 3rd place nation for the Three Lions, and that record saw him pick up the 2026 World Cup Bronze Boot alongside Norway’s Erling Haaland. Bellingham finished joint-3rd behind Mbappe and Lionel Messi, although he did not realise that he would receive an award for this. In the last few days, he received the Bronze Boot from FIFA, and he took the opportunity to acknowledge this on his JB5 app (via Diario AS ). “Bronze Boot from the World Cup… Didn’t know it was a thing, but thanks anyway.” Bellingham has carried on World Cup form for Real Madrid Clearly, the 2026 World Cup acted as a catalyst for Real Madrid, as he has continued the form he showed in North America into his performances for Real Madrid. He’s amassed three goals and two assists in eight appearances, but it is his overall play that has arguably earned him the title of being the best performer in a Los Blancos jersey. Bellingham will hope to impress again for England during the ongoing international, before returning to Real Madrid for a gruelling set of upcoming fixtures, with the likes of AS Roma, RB Leipzig and Barcelona coming up for Mourinho’s side.
