The missed opportunities
Bellingham acknowledges Real Madrid created multiple chances despite a messy 2-1 win over Inter Milan. He admits to two wasted opportunities himself, describing the second as particularly frustrating when a Brahim chip came high and he second-guessed himself. Rather than dwelling on his own misses, he emphasizes the bigger picture: failing to put the game away meant Madrid had to defend a one-goal lead when they could have won comfortably.
Mourinho's impact
Bellingham praises Mourinho's setup of clear team values and intensity standards. He credits the manager's pressing system for generating the two goals Madrid scored, noting the high-press approach is a shift from before. Even in a nervy win, Bellingham sees the positives in execution, though the sour feeling of not converting chances and barely holding on lingers.
