Bellingham hits back at Pepelu: «I don't care about the Ballon d'Or»
At Mestalla, the Englishman answered Maffeo and Pepelu's joke about the award, while Valencia's fans chanted "Balón de playa" at Mbappé.
Jude Bellingham, of Real Madrid, gave a straight answer to the jokes from Maffeo and Pepelu during the match at Mestalla. Cameras from Movistar's «El Día Después» caught the Englishman replying to a taunt about the Ballon d'Or: "I don't care about the Ballon d'Or, I don't mind about it". According to MARCA, he was one of the standout players of the game and did not let any of the provocations rattle him.
Real Madrid added another win at Mestalla, and the Englishman was once again a key piece. The Valencia crowd also had a go at the award, chanting "Balón de playa!" (beach ball) at Kylian Mbappé, who responded with an ironic smile.
