Jude Bellingham has sent his brother a brilliant message of support after helping Sunderland win promotion back to the Premier League.
Real Madrid and England star Jude Bellingham sent a brilliant X-rated message of support for younger brother Jobe after helping Sunderland win promotion back to the Premier League.
The Black Cats midfielder played the full 90 minutes against Sheffield United at Wembley, helping turn the tide as the game wore on.
The Blades took the lead in the first-half through Tyrese Campbell and looked to be on their way to securing a return to the top flight. However, a tactical change from Regis Le Bris in the second half saw Patrick Roberts and Tommy Watson introduced, with Enzo Le Fee dropping deeper to play alongside Jobe in central midfield.
Those changes saw Sunderland equalise through Eliezer Mayenda in the 76th minute, before Watson scored in the 95th minute of the game to send the travelling red and white army into raptures.
Jude could not contain his pride after seeing his younger brother play a huge role in getting the Black Cats back to where they belong, facetiming Jobe in the dressing room after the game.
The Real Madrid midfielder took a screenshot of the call and captioned it: "SO F****** PROUD." Jude has been a regular at Sunderland games since his brother's move, when the fixture list has allowed it, watching the Wearsiders in pre-season, and donning a red and white scarf, at the Stadium of Light.
Speaking after the full-time whistle, Jobe spoke with Sky Sports and said: "I always believed, you have to believe. When you've got supporters like this and a group of lads like that, you always have to believe.
"I always believed and I know people doubted us and that's understandable, we lost a few games, people talk about momentum. But I think we did enough, we showed enough throughout the season for people to at least give us some credit going into the play-offs.
"The typical 'inexperienced' by all the ex-pros that speak on Sky but we've just proved that don't matter. You need experience, of course, with youth like at Sunderland you play loads of games you get that experience.
"You get experience by failing and we failed together so many times and in the end we come good."
Like his older brother, Jobe has been linked with a move to Borussia Dortmund after a stellar season with the Black Cats and his future will be one to watch this summer.
