Jude Bellingham said Real Madrid were beaten by the best team in Europe right now after a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool and questioned the holders' attitude after a third loss in five Champions League games.

The 15-time winners are 24th in the 36-team table with three games of the league phase remaining and run the risk of failing to make the knockout stages after being defeated at Anfield. Liverpool, by contrast, are flying at the top of the table with a maximum 15 points from their five games and are also eight points clear at the summit of the Premier League.
"From the first minute they just took control of the game," Bellingham told 'TNT Sports' on a disappointing return to England. "I just think they were more up for it than us, to be honest, which is really disappointing to say.
"It's a bad result against probably the best-performing team in Europe. It's no disgrace to come here and lose, but we are disappointed in how we performed.
"The important thing is we use it the right way now. We've got three games left in the group and it's important that we go and try and win all of them to give ourselves the best possible chance in the standings," concluded Bellingham.
