“The last time I faced him, I prayed I’d never play against him again, but unfortunately, we’re set to meet once more… Honestly, I’m scared,” said Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham, as he revealed the ONE Arsenal player who consistently gives him a tough challenge whenever they go head-to-head.

Jude Bellingham Admits Fear Ahead of Arsenal Clash, Names One Gunners Star Who Gives Him Nightmares

Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham has made a shocking confession ahead of the highly anticipated UEFA Champions League quarter-final showdown against Arsenal.

The England international has admitted that there is one Arsenal player who always gives him a tough time whenever they face off—and he is not looking forward to meeting him again.

Speaking in an interview, Bellingham revealed his struggles against the unnamed Arsenal star, stating:

“The last time I played against him, I prayed never to play against him again, but unfortunately, we’re going to meet again… I’m scared, honestly.”

Though he did not mention the player’s name directly, fans have been speculating on social media about who Bellingham could be referring to. Some believe it could be Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard, who shares midfield battles with him, while others point to Declan Rice, known for his defensive solidity and physicality.

There are also suggestions that William Saliba, Arsenal’s rock at the back, could be the player in question, given his ability to shut down top attackers.

With Arsenal set to face Real Madrid in what promises to be a thrilling European clash, Bellingham’s statement has only fueled excitement among Gunners fans. Many are now confident that Mikel Arteta’s side has what it takes to go all the way in the competition.

One Arsenal supporter wrote on social media: “Even Jude is now scared, give us the trophy now!” while another added, “Whoever that Arsenal player is, he needs a statue already!”

Arsenal have been in impressive form this season, and their defensive and midfield dominance has played a major role in their success. If one of their players has already struck fear into Bellingham, it could be a psychological advantage heading into the tie.

With the first leg set to take place at the Santiago Bernabéu, all eyes will be on Arsenal’s key men to see who will once again give Bellingham a nightmare on the pitch. One thing is certain—this Champions League clash just got even more interesting!
