Midfielder Jude Bellingham: Midfielder Jude Bellingham has heaped praise on Kylian Mbappe for making an immediate impact in his UEFA Champions League debut for Real Madrid, as Los Blancos started their title defence with a 3-1 win over Stuttgart.

Madrid settled the game in the second half, with Mbappe making it 1-0 fresh out of the dressing room. Tchouameni's through ball picked out Rodrygo and the Brazilian squared for Mbappe to tap in and grab his first Champions League goal as a Madridista, his third in a row in all competitions (four goals).

He almost doubled his tally but Stuttgart goalkeeper Alexander Nübel stood tall to deny the Frenchman.
