Bellingham, 21, won the LaLiga and Champions League titles earlier this year in his debut season with Real Madrid.

The midfielder finished the campaign with a sensational 23 goals from 42 appearances.

He was instrumental in England‘s run to the final in Euro 2024, during which he scored a spectacular overhead kick against Slovakia.

The former Birmingham City academy graduate has now added the Fifa Intercontinental Cup to his trophy haul.

Real Madrid ran out 3-0 winners over Mexican outfit C.F. Pachuca, who featured former West Brom, Newcastle and Everton striker Salomon Rondon at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar.

Kylian Mbappe netted the opener in the first half before Rodrygo doubled the lead in the 53rd minute.

Vinicius Junior wrapped the result in the 84th minute as he squeezed his penalty kick under goalkeeper Carlos Moreno.

Bellingham did not see the game through as he was replaced in the 88th minute by Arda Guler.

Italian legend Andrea Pirlo brought out the trophy ahead of its presentation to Real Madrid.

Speaking ahead of the game, Bellingham insisted that the title would mean “a lot” to win.

He said: “It means a lot, you know? It’s an opportunity for another title and to tick off a good year of football for the club.

“We’ve earned our right to be here, just like the opposition, because of what we did in the Champions League.

“And it feels like we need to win this game to try to complete that achievement.

“So it means a lot to us to try and win another trophy.”

Due to playing in the match, Bellingham was unable to attend the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award.

The award was won by Olympic hero Keely Hodgkinson and the runner-up was darts sensation Luke Littler.
