Jude Bellingham has brushed off rumours about his off-field lifestyle, saying they are just “outside noise”. He explained that his drinking-style celebration after scoring in Real Madrid’s Champions League win over Monaco was meant as a joke for the fans.
Bellingham scored his first goal of 2026 as Real Madrid beat Monaco 6-1, and his celebration quickly went viral online. It came after Spanish YouTuber AuronPlay claimed Bellingham parties too much and visits nightclubs across Spain, suggesting it has affected his form.
After those comments, Bellingham was booed by some fans during Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Levante. Speaking after the Champions League match, the 22-year-old said anyone can make claims online without proof, and people often believe them.
Bellingham said he prefers to laugh it off rather than complain, adding that he knows the truth about his personal life and what he gives to the team. He stressed that the celebration was just a light-hearted joke and that the focus should be on delivering strong performances for the fans.
