Spanish playmaker Dani Olmo has spoken about the match between RB Leipzig and Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in the second leg of the Champions League last 16. On 'El Larguero' on 'Cadena SER' he praised the figure of Jude Bellingham: "We know him well from when he played for Borussia Dortmund. He is undoubtedly a top player." He also admitted to being surprised by his performance: "It's incredible the goals he has scored and the impact he has at Real Madrid".
