Jude Bellingham fires seven-word Man City verdict after Real Madrid cause late collapse
Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham has shared a social media message after their dramatic comeback victory against Manchester City on Tuesday night.
The 21-year-old reaffirms that their Champions League tie with the Premier League champions is far from over as they take a slender lead into their second-leg in seven days time.
Pep Guardiola's star-studded team led twice, but saw the record holders of the elite European competition score twice in the latter stages to turn the tie on its head.

Taking to Instagram, the England international wrote: "Far from over! See you at home."
Erling Haaland opened the scoring for City inside 20 first-half minutes, but Kylian Mbappe's effort looped in to level proceedings on the hour-mark.
City had their opportunities, hitting the bar, but were handed the chance to restore an advantage when Phil Foden was brought down in the area.
Norway sensation Haaland made no mistake to put the hosts back ahead but, in the last six minutes of the match, Carlo Ancelotti's side pulled off another remarkable comeback.
Brahim Diaz came back to haunt City - after being quickest to react on the rebound - and in the second minute of stoppage time, Bellingham slid home the winner.
Speaking after the defeat, captain Ruben Dias insisted that they have to do better. He said: "I am just upset with it and of course it is frustrating.
"It is always going to be a different kind of game against them. In the end, there were chances both ways and we ended up playing the last minutes at 2-1. But you cannot let it [the lead] go, with the way that we did. We have to do better and it is as simple as that. You cannot allow it.
"Now it is a matter of belief - how much we do believe in ourselves and in that we can go through. We know the game that we are going to have to go there and play because we have been there before."
