JUDE BELLINGHAM has touched Real Madrid stars' hearts, says team-mate Joselu.
The England superstar, 20, instantly became a key man in the Spanish capital after completing his £115million move from Borussia Dortmund last summer.
Ahead of tonight's huge Champions League quarter-final clash with Manchester City, Joselu has spoken of his pal's incredible quality.
Speaking to The Guardian, the former Newcastle and Stoke forward said: "Jude’s different class. Physically, he’s incredible. He’s very humble, a great team-mate.
"From the start, he tried to speak Spanish. He’s touched everyone’s hearts: he’s very special.

"I learned English when I was there and we speak a lot. I try to help.
"Jude can achieve everything he sets his mind to. He has the potential to be really important for England and Madrid for as long as he wants.
"He gives us something extra, not just as a goalscorer."
Bellingham has scored 16 goals in 23 LaLiga appearances this term, also laying on four assists.
It's been a similar story in the Champions League, with the Stourbridge-born star scoring four goals and assisting a further four in six appearances.

Real Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger has also raved about his team-mate.
The German, 31, said: "At the beginning I was a bit surprised. I didn’t know much about him, to be honest.
“But – wow! - he’s a big personality in our locker room and that's massive. The way he handles himself is very good.
“He’s only 20, but if you talk to him you feel like this guy has already seen everything in life.
