    Bellingham, 20, has earned plaudits for his performances for Los Blancos, scoring 15 goals in 17 appearances.
    However, despite growing up in Madrid and being a fan of the club, Penelope Cruz has not become a big fan of the player.
    Sky Sports reporter Craig Slater was at the premiere of the Michael Mann film ‘Ferrari’ and spoke to the Spanish actress about the England international.
    However, the Vicky Cristina Barcelona star was not overly aware of Bellingham due to being immersed in making the film.

    “Would you believe, she didn’t really know anything about him or have anything to say.

    “She’s gotta be the only Real fan who is not bowled over by what young Mr Bellingham is doing over there.

    The event marked the European premiere of Hollywood blockbuster Ferrari, which stars Adam Driver as Enzo Ferrari and also features Penelope Cruz.
    Slater looked thrilled as he gave the latest updates from the glitzy event.

    I made £40,000 a WEEK as a Premier League star and captained my country at World Cup… now I can’t even afford a phone

    A PREMIER league star was raking it in on £40,000 a week during his playing days but now can’t even afford a phone.In the mid 2000s Lucas Neill was a footballing hero as captain of West Ham and played in the 2006 World Cup.

    He was living the high life too, with a Ferrari in his garage and holidays in the Maldives.
    Nowadays, Neill, 45, lives a very different life having gone bankrupt and was recently facing three years behind bars as he stood trial for failing to declare money he never knew he had.
    He had been accused of concealing more than £2million from creditors.
    As he battled his financial problems the lights would often go out because he didn’t have the money to top up his pay-as-you-go meter.
    Read More on West Ham
    Last Monday though, a jury at Preston Crown Court took just 26 minutes to acquit him of the charges.
    Neill told The Times: “I’ve won my freedom, but I feel like I’ve lost in life.”
    During his financial hardship, his wife Lindsey Morris, a beauty therapist and personal trainer, became the breadwinner, as he only had his £900-a-month footballer’s pension.
    He blames himself completely for his financial ruin.
    Most read in Football
    Neill, who is a dad-of-two, said: “I feel like I didn’t protect my family… And that hurts. I let my family down.”
    The Professional Footballers’ Association has warned that between 10 to 20 per cent of professional players go bankrupt when they retire.
    Nell had been advised to pump vast sums of money into a scheme which gave the promise of investing in British films in return for a huge tax break.
    The scheme appeared to be legitimate and were pushed heavily by accountants and financial advisers and the government had championed the investment tax relief.
    But the taxman eventually came sniffing around and forced those who invested in them to repay the money they claimed, which in many cases totalled up to tens of thousands of pounds.
    Neill said: “People say they want to advise you. Help you. People just constantly want to take a tiny slice out of you. Telling you they’re going to add value to what they’re doing. That’s just a lesson for all footballers.”
    He added: “Do you need these professional financial advisers? I was very successful in the world of football, but I clearly wasn’t ready for this other world — the world of business. And I’ve learnt the hard way.”
    HMRC told him he owed £400,000 and he had to sell seven or eight properties, losing money on each one, to pay it back.
    He then defaulted on a NatWest loan he had taken out to pay for a barn near Newcastle, which was held in an offshore fund.
    Neill was left owing the bank £737,000 – and was declared bankrupt in 2016.
    He said: “People couldn’t believe it, but I had nothing left. That was my rock bottom.
    “After 20 years of a football career and all this hard work, I’ve got nothing to show for it.”
    During a meeting with the insolvency service he was meant to list all his assets, but forgot to mention the 144 acres of land he had bought around the barn.
    The insolvency service investigated Neill for seven years, so he was unable to own his own home, or even take out a mobile phone contract.
    When he went bankrupt, the repossessed 144 acres was sold for £3m by a lender and after the loan was settled, the remaining £2.1m was put into Neill’s offshore trust.
    Neill claims he never knew about this but the insolvency service accused him of hiding the money from his bankruptcy proceedings.
    Now he has been found not guilty he is starting to rebuild his life and he also wants to find out what happened to the offshore funds.
    His defence lawyer, Joseph Kotrie Monson, of Mary Monson Solicitors, said: “Why would somebody ever put their family through all the pressure of bankruptcy, if they knew they had enough money in a bank account to pay off the debt and still have a million left over?”
    He’s now coaching women and girls at a football club and working as a project manager for a local digital firm.

    Neill was accused of hiding more than £2million from his creditors as his money problems spiralled out of control.
    The star ploughed huge sums into a scheme which he thought would see him get big tax breaks in return for investing in British films.
    But HMRC ordered him to pay back £400,000 after probing the dodgy scheme – which had been touted to footballers by financial advisers.
    Neill was forced to sell over seven properties, losing money on each one.

    But Neill has now been found not guilty of hiding the offshore money.
    He is now coaching women and girls at a football club while working for a tech firm.
    His lawyer Joseph Kotrie Monson said: “Now it’s time for him to enjoy his restored reputation and get back into the world of sport and broadcasting.” More

    Michael Schumacher thought I was trying to kill him, David Coulthard says in bombshell doc 10 years since ski tragedy

    MICHAEL Schumacher thought ex-racing legend David Coulthard tried to kill him in a past race, says the former McLaren driver. In the new documentary Being Michael Schumacher, Coulthard speaks about the infamous race clash with the Ferrari driver during the Belgian Grand Prix in 1998.

    But back in 1998, Coulthard had a bitter falling out with Schumacher after their on-track collision thwarted Schumacher from winning the race.
    According to him, the German racer refused to accept that the car crash was unintentional – and believed it was rather a conspiracy to kill him.
    Following the collision, Schumacher was furious and burst into the McLaren garage to confront Coulthard, accusing him of ruining his race.
    Coulthard reveals in the documentary: “Michael thought it was some sort of conspiracy to kill him and try and help my teammate Mika.
    more on Schumacher
    “But it was simply an accident. It was just one of those things.”
    The Belgium Grand Prix had taken place under extremely wet conditions, described then as almost monsoon-like.
    The slippery track was so dangerous to race on that the first lap saw a massive crash involving thirteen drivers – and the race had to be stopped for over an hour.
    After the restart, Michael Schumacher – who was driving for Ferrari – had overtaken Damien Hill.
    Most read in Motorsport
    Here he was nearly 40 seconds ahead when he approached Coulthard to lap him.
    But Coulthard did not immediately let Schumacher pass, which led to the furious German shaking his fist at him in rage.
    He eventually attempted to let Schumacher through by reducing his speed but staying on the racing line.
    But, Schumacher, blinded by the spray in the poor visibility, whizzed on and crashed into the back of the Coulthard’s McLaren.
    In a dramatic smash, the right front wheel of Schumacher’s Ferrari was torn off, as was the rear wing of Coulthard’s McLaren.
    The latest documentary – which draws heavily on past footage – shows a bitter young Michael Schumacher in the pit lane filled with rage.
    He told the television cameras: “David is a sensible driver, so I don’t understand at all why he acted like this.”
    The factual film gobsmacked Coulthard speaking to the cameras, saying: “I can’t understand him, he has just accused me again of wanting to kill him.
    “He has to take that back, it can’t be true.
    “I hope he has some regret over his comments.”
    The short film reveals the people who once funded Schumacher said this notorious feud was Schumacher’s fault.
    Norbert Haug, former head of Mercedes Benz motorsport says: If I’m being really kind it was 50-50 and if I’m being realistic it was 95-5 done by Michael Schumacher, there was no reason at all to be travelling at that speed.”
    Other parts of the documentary include how a viewer in Germany had written to the Cologne-based state prosecution office to “check whether Mr Schumacher’s action was punishable”,
    It included the charge of “attempted murder, inflicting grievous bodily harm, coercion, and driving offences”.
    For Coulthard, Schumacher was all about pushing the limits constantly, which made him an amazing driver.
    But it also meant there was a darker side to him than many realised.
    He says in the documentary: “Schumacher could be very ruthless, he could be cold, he could be distant.
    “I think that’s probably the level you need to be at to be that successful.
    “My understanding of where the limit was perhaps more in line with the rest of the drivers.”
    Another clip from the documentary shows F1 presenter Florian König revealing the one thing he tells every curious fan asking about Michael Schumacher’s health.
    Speaking to German producers ARD, König said: “Whenever someone speaks to me, at the airport or elsewhere, the question often comes up: ‘Do you know how Michael is doing? Do you know what’s going on now?’
    “I always say the same thing: I don’t ask the family at all.”
    The presenter, 56, explained why he also doesn’t seek answers from the Schumacher family.
    “I absolutely respect the fact that they only gave very sparse information, and I think that’s right,” he said.
    König, one of RTL’s Formula One faces for many years, added: “I notice from these questions that people are still interested and that they still share in his fate.”
    The documentary, to be aired on December 28, will explore Schumacher’s early years including his rise to prominence, from a go-karting background to one of the best drivers in Formula One history.
    It will mark the 10-year anniversary of his horrific skiing accident, which occurred in the French Alps on December 29, 2013.
    The new series will follow a 2021 documentary produced by Netflix in which Schumacher’s wife Corinna remained tight-lipped about her husband’s condition, saying only that he was “different” post-crash.

    Corinna is known to have protected her husband’s privacy to such an extent that only their immediate family and the closest of their friends know any details about how he is doing.
    Recently, in an interview with German magazine Bunte, Schumacher’s brother Ralf shared he now had little to do with the F1 star’s immediate family, including his wife and kids.
    Ralf said: “When I see his children Gina-Maria and Mick, my heart smiles.
    “If someone in the family is looking for my advice, I’m there. They go their own way.”
    He made clear he still loved his brother’s family and said of his accident: “Unfortunately, sometimes life isn’t fair.
    “We have to accept it.”
    Meanwhile, Schumacher’s pal, former F1 driver Timo Glock, claimed to have kept in contact with the seven-time world champion.
    He told LuckyBlock: “I’ve also known other members of his family for a very long time, but I try not to impose on their privacy.
    “I respect their right to be private, and I don’t discuss Michael’s condition with them.”
    Glock, who told of the parties he and Schumacher used to throw, said they had “such good fun” together.
    ”I spent a lot of time off-track with Michael, and it didn’t matter what we did.
    ”Michael kept himself to himself on the track, and he didn’t open up too much. It was, however, the opposite away from the track.
    “He was very open, super friendly, and a really nice guy. People thought he wasn’t!”

    It has now gone up for sale for a whopping £20,000 after being updated with all the circuits from the 2012 F1 calendar.
    The device has been used by a number of drivers, but most notably by Schumacher during his last season driving for team Ferrari.

    The auction for the iconic piece ends on November 14.
    It comes after a stunning collection of the F1 ace’s memorabilia worth £1.4million went up for auction in August.
    Schumacher’s iconic 1994 Bell Benetton Formula 1 helmet was part of the collection along with an Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost signed Formula 1 Moet Champagne Bottle.
    The bottle was signed by the pair during the 1989 Formula 1 World Championship and was set to sell for £7,800.
    Two other special helmets from Schumacher’s career were expected to attract bids of up to £20,000.
    One helmet – with a signed visor – was from the 2001 season, where it was worn during the Australian, Malaysian, and Brazilian Grand Prix events.
    Another was from the following season and was used in the Japanese and Hungarian Grand Prix events when he raced for Ferrari.
    The entire jaw-dropping collection was sold by RM Sotheby’s in Monterey, California.
    An RM Sotheby’s spokesperson said: “Among this treasured collection of artwork and automobilia are more than 75 lots of race-worn clothing and equipment spanning the breadth of Schumacher’s career, including a selection of helmets from his earliest days in karting.
    “Full Throttle ­– The Schumacher Collection offers an unrepeatable opportunity to acquire precious automobilia from the career of one of the sport’s true greats—touchstones from the life of a legendary driver who changed the face of motorsport forever”.
    Also in August, Schumacher’s incredible Ferrari F2001b sportscar went up for sale for a staggering £6million.
    The racing legend drove the 220mph 3.0-litre V10 cherry-red Ferrari when he won the 2002 Australian Grand Prix.
    An RM Sotheby’s spokesperson said: “Amongst the most desirable of any modern-era grand prix cars in existence, chassis 215 played a significant role in the early days of the 2002 Formula 1 World Championship.
    Schumacher’s iconic valuables have been listed at auctions after the driver suffered a severe brain injury during a devastating ski crash accident in December 2013.
    He was on the slopes above Méribel in the French Alps when he hit his head on a rock while crossing an off-piste area.
    Doctors said he would most likely have died had he not been wearing the safety gear, and the world champ was airlifted to Grenoble Hospital.
    He was put into a medically induced coma after suffering what was described as a “traumatic brain injury”.
    The former Ferrari and Mercedes driver was brought out of the coma in June 2014 and was released to go and rehabilitate at his home in Gland, Switzerland.
    The 54-year-old now lives a private life with his family with the tragic ski accident coming just over a year after he retired from F1 in 2012.
    He mounted a brief comeback for three seasons with the new Mercedes team after initially hanging up his helmet in 2006.
    In 2021, his family broke their eight-year silence on the seven-time world champion’s condition in a Netflix documentary examining his illustrious career.
