Bellingham left in hysterics by Zola's bizarre live TV 'breast milk' confession
Gianfranco Zola left Jude Bellingham and his fellow pundits in stitches after a bizarre compliment of the midfielder's performance for England against Italy.
Bellingham helped the Three Lions qualify for Euro 2024 with a stunning display during their 3-1 victory over the Azzurri at Wembley on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old played as a No 10 and dominated the midfield as he won a first half penalty - which Harry Kane scored from - before setting up Marcus Rashford for England's second.
It was a player of the match performance that showed a maturity beyond his years, which was something the former Italian striker picked up on when conducting a pitchside interview with Bellingham after full-time.
'I have to say it makes me laugh this guy,' Zola said on Channel 4's coverage of the game when addressing Bellingham, fellow pundits Jill Scott and Joe Cole and presenter Jules Breach.
'At 20-years-old, I was still drinking milk from my mum and this guy is so huge. I'm very impressed.'
The comments from Zola had Bellingham, Scott, Cole and Breach in hysterics as they could barely believe what he had said, before Bellingham joked :'Not directly!'
Bellingham's display was the latest chapter of what is turning out to be a memorable season for the Real Madrid star, with the midfielder having netted 10 times in 10 games for the Spanish giants since his summer move for a fee rising to £113m.
He has helped Carlo Ancelotti's side rise to the top of LaLiga, while they are also currently first in their Champions League group after two wins from two.
The 20-year-old - who measures at 6ft1ins - has already racked up 27 caps for England since his debut in November 2020 and will be integral if Gareth Southgate's side are to win the Euros next summer.
