Jude Bellingham appears to mouth Sunderland fans’ X-rated chant about Alan Shearer
Yesterday at 06:06 PM
Jude Bellingham saw the funny side of a crude chant about Alan Shearer from Sunderland fans on Boxing Day.
The England and Real Madrid superstar was watching younger brother Jobe Bellingham, who plays for Sunderland, during their showdown against Blackburn.
Some of the Sunderland fans in attendance at Ewood Park were heard dropping the X-rated chant about Newcastle icon Shearer, calling him a ‘w*****’.
As the ‘Shearer is a w*****’ chant was sung, cameras pointed at Jude appearing to mouth the same words with a grin on his face.
It should be stressed that the 21-year-old wasn’t uttering the words with anywhere near the same amount of gusto as the Black Cats faithful.
Attending the match with parents Mark and Denise, Jude watched Jobe in action as Sunderland battled to a 2-2 draw at promotion rivals Blackburn.
The home side led at half time through Yuki Ohashi’s 13th-minute goal, however, Sunderland turned the game around with goals by Chris Rigg and Wilson Isidor inside five second-half minutes.
But a 90th-minute goal by Harry Leonard ensured the spoils would be shared.
The older Bellingham brother was able to go to the game with the Spanish football season on pause for the winter break.
Jude enjoyed a stellar first season at Real Madrid having won a LaLiga and Champions League double, as well as the Supercopa de Espana.
He’s already added Super Cup and FIFA Intercontinental Cup winners’ medals to his name this term, although Real Madrid haven’t had it all their own way this season.
They’re currently second in LaLiga, a point behind inner-city rivals Atletico Madrid, who top the table.
Meanwhile, the European champions are 20th in this season’s Champions League table having lost three of their six games so far.
Jobe joined Sunderland from boyhood club Birmingham in the summer of 2023 and has been a regular in the first-team having amassed 66 appearances for them.
The 19-year-old midfielder has four goals and three assists in 19 Championship appearances this term with Sunderland fourth in the table, four points off an automatic promotion spot.
