Jude Bellingham Jokes About His Brother Jobe After Scoring at the Club World Cup

Jude Bellingham admitted that he was motivated to score for Real Madrid after his brother Jobe’s recent goal for Borussia Dortmund at the Club World Cup. Bellingham, who scored in the 35th minute of Madrid’s 3-1 victory over Pachuca, revealed his determination was partly fueled by his sibling’s achievement.

The day before, Jobe scored his debut goal for Dortmund in a 4-3 win against Mamelodi Sundowns. Jude humorously remarked that their rivalry might turn into a family competition to see who scores the most in the tournament. When asked if his brother’s goal was on his mind, Jude told DAZN: “A little bit, I’ve got to be honest. Everyone was teasing me yesterday about him being better than me, so I had to do something today. We’re now 1-1, and the tournament isn’t over yet.”

Both brothers could potentially face each other later in the competition, as both Madrid and Dortmund aim to advance from the group stage. Jude’s goal was part of a dominant team performance, with Arda Guler adding a second before halftime and Federico Valverde sealing the victory in the 70th minute. Despite an early red card for Raul Asencio, Madrid managed to maintain their advantage. Their next fixture is against RB Salzburg.

Meanwhile, Jobe has been settling well at Dortmund following his move from Sunderland, with his team preparing for their upcoming match against Ulsan.
