Bellingham denies claims he failed to back Xabi Alonso and lashes out at journalists

Goal reports that Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham has angrily rejected claims he did not support manager Xabi Alonso during Alonso's tenure at the club.

Alonso parted company with Los Blancos in the wake of their Spanish Super Cup defeat to Barcelona after just eight months in charge, and there has been speculation about problems in the dressing room. Bellingham has rejected that speculation on his own app, writing: "Until now l've let far too many of these slide, always hoping the truth will come to light in its own time. But honestly... What a load of sh*t. Truly feel sorry for the people that hang onto the every word of these clowns and their 'sources'. Do not believe everything you read, every now and then these lot need to be held accountable for spreading this kind of damaging misinformation for clicks and added controversy."

Bellingham insists he is not involved; the report does not provide further evidence of the alleged dressing-room problems.
