Jude Bellingham and a few of his teammates were seated courtside, observing the showdown between Real Madrid and Barcelona in basketball before this weekend’s El Clasico.

Just before El Clasico, Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and others were spotted in the stands, witnessing Real Madrid’s hosting of Barcelona in a EuroLeague basketball match on Thursday night. Madrid secured a tight 65-64 victory, which Los Blancos will likely see as a promising sign ahead of their game at Camp Nou on Saturday.

Carlo Ancelotti’s squad currently occupies the top spot in La Liga, sitting one point ahead and two places above Barcelona. A victory would extend Madrid’s lead over their fierce rivals by four points, whereas a loss would enable Xaxi’s team to overtake this weekend’s visitors in the standings.
