Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala is excited facing Real Madrid and good friend Jude Bellingham in the Champions League semifinals.
The pair became close when Germany international Musiala played with Bellingham in England's youth teams.
Musiala told Marca: "Yes, they were fabulous years in England. We always understood each other well on the field, and we played good football. Besides, we were roommates and we always had a great relationship. Today we are good friends because on the field we understood each other very well with the ball. I am very happy with what he is achieving at Real Madrid at the moment.
"I think Jude always had a great mentality as a player. He trusts a lot in himself and does not escape big challenges, so I was not surprised to see him like this in Madrid. Of course, his start is not normal for a debutant, as he always requires a certain amount of patience, but it is something that honestly has not surprised me too much. I have known Jude's mentality since he was little.
"I'm looking forward to those two games. Jude and I have always dreamed since we were little of playing clashes like this, like these."
