Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham has reacted to Lucas Paqueta’s celebration during the crucial West Ham win over Olympiacos.
As the song goes, West Ham are massive everywhere they go.
And for the avoidance of doubt Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham has just proved that point.
There are not many midfielders in better form than England star Bellingham or West Ham’s Brazilian magnifico Lucas Paqueta this season.
Paqueta is officially one of the best all round players in the Premier League this season.
And the Hammers talisman has scored in his last three Europa League games too.

Bellingham has made a habit of scoring in nearly every game since his mega move to Real Madrid.
He’s also made his celebration world famous in the process.
When Paqueta’s winning goal against Olympiacos was confirmed after an unnecessarily lengthy VAR check at the London Stadium on Thursday night, he ran straight over to the away fans to celebrate in front of them.
Paqueta and his teammates really rubbed it in, sparking an angry reaction from the away fans.
Paqueta and his Hammers teammates stood, arms outstretched in a gesture which says ‘behold my brilliance’.
It was a clear nod to Bellingham’s celebration and one that did not go unnoticed by the Real Madrid star, who is teammates with one of Paqueta’s best friends – Vinicius Junior.
Take a good celebration and make it better
Paqueta tagged Bellingham in on an Instagram post of him and his West Ham teammates doing the celebration saying: “Only today my friend.”
Bellingham then responded by re-posting the picture on his Instagram Stories alongside a laughing face and handshake emoji.
You love to see it.
