JUDE BELLINGHAM was far from happy after finding out his pace rating for EAFC 24.
The England midfielder announced himself on the global stage with a string of impressive displays with Borussia Dortmund last season and the 2022 World Cup.
His form landed him a mega-money move to European giants Real Madrid, where he's flourished in his first four outings for the Spaniards - scoring five goals already.
As with hundreds of players around the world, Bellingham recently learned his rating for the upcoming EAFC 24 video game - although he discovered his stats alongside Real team-mates Brahim Diaz, Lucas Vazquez and Rodrygo.
"I've got to be like 84," the former Birmingham City star said when he was asked to predict his pace racing.

But he was way off the mark and his jaw nearly hit the floor when he was told he'd only been given a 76.
Diaz was quick to mock his Los Blancos team-mates' rating - and his running style.
The Spaniard said: "You're running like this all the time bro."
A perplexed and stunned Bellingham couldn't believe the rating, adding: "You're joking?
"I was more last year, so I've gone down?"

Bellingham may not be happy with his stats for the soon-to-be-released video game, but he can have no complaints about his numbers for Real Madrid.
The 20-year-old is the top goalscorer for Carlo Ancelotti's side this season with five goals in four matches, plus an assist.
He picked up his sixth goal of the season in England's 3-1 win over old rivals Scotland at Hampden Park on Tuesday night.
But the soft-spoken midfielder is refusing to get too far ahead of himself, telling beIN Sports: "I'm always learning.

"I'm so lucky to have played with so many great players with my last club and even more so at my new club which is a big boost for me and for my own confidence to play with such great players.
"I'm just learning all the time really. I'm trying to add more attributes to my game and trying to affect the ones I've already got.
"If I can keep being effective in goal and doing the things that I do well already overall in my game then I think I could be doing well and hopefully have a good season.
"So it's important that I keep it up."
Bellingham and his Real Madrid team-mates will be back in action on Sunday night, welcoming Real Sociedad to the Bernabeu.
