Real Madrid superstar, Jude Bellingham, has hailed the club’s female star, Caroline Weir, calling her the greatest of all time.
This was after the female star’s heroics against Barcelona Femeni on Sunday.
Real Madrid’s Women beat their Barça counterparts 3-1, with Weir scoring twice in the closing stages.
Bellingham watched the game on TV from England’s camp for the FIFA international break and took time to show his support for Los Blancos women.
The midfielder dropped a comment on Weir’s Instagram post after the game, referring to her as the GOAT.
Weir did not start the game but had to came off the bench to help her side record a first-ever win over Barcelona Femeni since their creation five years ago.
They had lost all 18 prior meetings with the Catalan club, making the win on Sunday all the more significant.
The Los Blancos came off a morale-boosting 2-0 win over Arsenal Women in the UEFA Women Champions League, with the Scotland Women’s international, Weir, inspiring her side to another huge win.
Real Madrid became only the second side to defeat Barcelona Femeni this season, earning rave reviews for doing so.
Barcelona had claimed an 8-1 aggregate win over their opponents in the Copa de la Reina earlier this month.
Weir came off the bench, and scored in the 87th minute and in stoppage time to seal a 3-1 win for her side.
Real Madrid Women are now four points behind Barcelona with seven games left to play.
