"It is clearly special," says Bellingham.

"But I think the preparations must be the same as for all matches.

"It is important to be myself and not worry too much about the emotional side.

"I'm really excited. It's a match I've dreamed about since I started playing football.

"I understand what an opportunity it is and I don't want to waste a single second. It would be foolish to come here and want to hide."
