Real Madrid CF v RCD Mallorca - La Liga EA Sports
Jude Bellingham has named Zinedine Zidane as his dream team-mate, but has explained why he couldn't play alongside him for an entire season.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Bellingham has named Zidane as his dream team-mate for a one-off fantasy game, as he insists that the France icon would be a walking highlight reel. The former Real boss, of course, won La Liga and the Champions League while a player at the Bernabeu, before returning as manager to win the Champions League three times and La Liga twice.

Bellingham is bidding to match Zidane's legacy at the Bernabeu, although he maintains that he would rather not spend an entire season alongside the World Cup winner, as he does not believe he would ever play!
WHAT BELLINGHAM SAID
Bellingham, when asked about his dream team-mate, told FIFA: "[Zinedine] Zidane, easily. I'd just give him the ball and watch him really. You know, it'd be like watching YouTube up close. That'd be by far my favourite one. Mind you, I wouldn't want to play a whole season, I don't think I'd get any minutes!"
