JUDE BELLINGHAM has not only been crowned a European champion - he has also found the fuel to drive him to glory.
At 20 years old, Bellingham has won the Champions League, La Liga, been voted La Liga's Player of the Year and if he does not win the Ballon d'Or for this season then it is just a matter of time.
The Real Madrid star is surely destined to become the best player in the world after a career-defining night at Wembley when he crowned it all by lifting the European Cup.
Afterwards on the pitch, Bellingham talked about proving people wrong and sending a message to the doubters.
"You go through life with people telling you that you can't do things," he said. That is all fine and good because Bellingham clearly uses it all as motivation and the drive which pushes him to success.
But let's be absolutely clear here no one in their right mind doubts Bellingham. And it is impossible to remember such a universally loved success story.
