Real Madrid fans have hilariously reacted to an incident involving Luka Modric and Jude Bellingham in training. During a rondo, Modric nutmegged Bellingham and then told the Englishman to close his legs.
Several Madrid players, including Kylian Mbappe, laughed at Bellingham while others applauded Modric. After the nutmeg, Modric held Bellingham's legs together.
Here’s a post that captured the hilarious event (via Madrid Xtra):
Fans took to X to react to the incident, with one tweeting:
"The master never misses a chance to teach!"
"This legend>>>>," another added.
"Its not looking good," a fan hilariously opined.
"This guy man," another chimed in.

Meanwhile, Bellingham has proven to be a key player for Carlo Ancelotti since joining Los Blancos in 2023. In 21 appearances this season, Bellingham has scored seven goals and provided six assists.
