Jude Bellingham made a promise to Micah Richards following Real Madrid's victory over Atalanta, but Alessandro Del Piero hilariously begged him not to go through with it.

Bellingham starred as Real returned to winning ways in the Champions League following their defeat to Liverpool.

The defending champions beat Atalanta 3-2 in Bergamo as Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr and Bellingham all got on the score-sheet.

After the the result, Bellingham spoke to CBS Sports, where he was interviewed by Richards and Del Piero.

He was asked about his goal, his form and the team's potential.

And towards the end of the interview, Richards revealed his bet with the 21-year-old, explaining that the superstar midfielder hasn't held up his end of the bargain.

The former Manchester City star said: "We had a bet, I put on a full Madrid kit. Where’s the Micah celebration?”

Bellingham replied: "Next time I score... big M for you."

Del Piero added: "Please no, Jude... only once."

Bellingham scored his sixth goal of the season against Atalanta and bagged his first Champions League goal in 12 appearances in doing so.

On his well-taken strike, he said: "My goal? I didn’t know where the ball was going, I thought it would hit my back and everyone would laugh at me. But I got it and went 1v1 with the defender

"I always want to affect the game with goals and assists, but it’s important I do the rest of my job as well. I now have the sniff back for it, hopefully more is coming."

Real enjoyed a stunning campaign last season, winning the La Liga title and Champions League and the England international hopes to add more silverware to the club's stacked trophy cabinet.

"We won a lot last season, but I am DESPERATE to do it again and many times for this CLUB."
