Real Madrid midfielder Bellingham: Family will keep me grounded

Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham insists his success won't go to his head.

Bellingham is confident he'll never get carried away.

He told Sky Sports: "I have an excellent support network: my family, my friends, everyone really cares about me down to earth. I don't feel like a kid who's on top...

"I feel like I go to work every day like everyone else, and I'm privileged to like my job so much. My family keeps me down to earth, when I come home I feel like a pretty normal guy."

Asked about his objectives, Bellingham continued: "The trophies. I want to be able to give my country, England, and my team, Real Madrid, great memories and several trophies. The last few years have not been unforgettable for England, to be honest, so it's difficult.

"I remember always watching the games with my family. I remember going to Iceland, Italy (for the quarter-finals of Euro 2012), and those were probably my first two memories related to the national team."
