Jude Bellingham - Baked beans and eggs

The Real Madrid star loves to tuck into a plate of baked beans and eggs before a match.

Jude Bellingham benefits from the high-quality protein from the meal and is also a good source of carbohydrates.

The dish is often described as one of his "favourite meals".

Declan Rice - EIGHT pancakes with syrup

The midfielder goes for one of the more filling meals before a match as he tucks into a mountain of pancakes.

Declan Rice claimed it is the "best thing" and has been a "game changer" since joining Arsenal in 2023.

He told Men's Health UK: "I have four pancakes before a game. Covered in syrup or honey. I swear to God, it’s the best thing.

"When I joined the club, I could see the [Arsenal] players eating them and thought to myself, ‘What is going on here?’ But honestly, it’s been a game-changer.'

“I don’t understand the science behind it, what’s in them or anything like that, but it gives me such a high energy boost. I think that’s why I’m able to rattle around the pitch so much.

"If we’re playing at 5.30pm, I’ll sometimes have eight pancakes in a day. I’ll have some at breakfast and I’ll have some more at 3.30pm before we play.”
