What Olmo said
Asked about the danger the likes of Bellingham posed ahead of the final, the Leipzig midfielder remained bullish, stating that they do not fear the Real Madrid man.
“I’m not afraid of Jude Bellingham,” Olmo said, per GFNS. “Like Morata, he is a reference. Football goes through his boots. Like others, he is a player to keep in mind. Bellingham is always in the middle of everything but we are not afraid of anyone.”
Meanwhile, Lamine Yamal shared similar sentiments as Olmo. He believes that if Spain play their football, no team can beat them.
