Jude Bellingham has publicly apologized to Real Madrid supporters following the team`s elimination from the Champions League.
The 21-year-old English midfielder played in the match where Real Madrid was defeated 2-1 by Arsenal last night.
Real Madrid entered the game confident in their ability to overcome a three-goal deficit from the first leg against Arsenal.
Bellingham had even described the game as "a night made for Madrid".
However, Carlo Ancelotti`s team never seriously threatened Arsenal.
After Real Madrid`s defeat, Bellingham posted on Instagram: "We simply did not meet the standards expected of this club in either game."
"Sorry Madridistas, we understand how much these nights and this competition mean to you."
"There are still opportunities to salvage this season, but that`s only possible if we stick together. Real Madrid will come back stronger!"
Real Madrid is currently second in LaLiga, trailing Barcelona by four points with seven matches remaining.
The two rivals are scheduled to play in Catalonia on May 11.
Real Madrid is also set to compete against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final on April 26.
There are reports suggesting that Ancelotti might leave Real Madrid after this final.
Real Madrid has been linked to former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who Spanish reports indicate is interested in the position.
When asked about his future with Real Madrid after the Arsenal loss, Ancelotti commented: "Perhaps the club will decide to replace me, and it could be this year, or next year when my contract expires."
"But when my time here is over, I will be grateful to this club."
"That could be tomorrow, in 10 days, a month, or a year, but whether my contract ends or not, I truly don`t mind."
"We have experienced success and won titles many times, but we also need to manage the setbacks."
"We must accept this defeat because over the two legs, Arsenal played better than us."
