JUDE BELLINGHAM teased Micah Richards after knocking Manchester City out of the Champions League last night.
The Real Madrid star, 20, played the full 120 minutes before netting his spot-kick in the shoot-out as his side beat City 4-3 on penalties.
After the game, the midfielder spoke to CBS Sports to reflect on the result.
When it was put to him that pundit Richards, a former City player, might be upset with the result, Bellingham beamed.
He then said of Richards: “He’s still meant to be wearing the Madrid shirt after the little wager we had so I’m disappointed not to see that.
“Hopefully we’ll see it for the semi-final.”

“My brother is here today and it is the first time he has been able to see me playing for Madrid. I feel really proud about that.”
Bellingham then gave an insight into how veteran boss Carlo Ancelotti motivates his stars.
He added: “One of our biggest strengths is that we’re so off the cuff.
“As a man he just fills you with calmness and confidence.
“Before the game, I caught him yawning and I said to him ‘boss are you tired?’
