"I hope they lose!" – Anthony Gordon makes surprising admission about watching his England teammate
Anthony Gordon has revealed why he watches every match involving his England teammate Jude Bellingham, admitting that he always hopes for one particular outcome.
Details: During a press conference ahead of England's Nations League clash with Spain, the Barcelona winger was asked about the performances of his national-team colleagues playing for Europe's biggest clubs. When the conversation turned to Bellingham, Gordon delivered a rather unexpected response:
"I obviously watch every one of Jude's games now, hoping they lose."
However, there is a simple explanation for Gordon's unusual admission. The Englishman joined Barcelona this summer, while Bellingham continues to represent Real Madrid. Their clubs are fierce rivals in LaLiga, making the results of the Madrid giants particularly interesting to the Catalan winger.
Despite hoping for Real Madrid to lose, Gordon had nothing but praise for his England teammate. He acknowledged that Bellingham has enjoyed a tremendous start to the season and explained that he follows the midfielder's individual performances very closely.
The two Englishmen are currently preparing for their national team's opening Nations League fixture against Spain, scheduled for September 26 at Wembley. While they represent rival clubs in Spain, they will be fighting for the same result when they take the field for England.
It's worth noting that Gordon joined Barcelona from Newcastle on May 29, 2026, signing a contract until 2031. According to Real Madrid's official website, Bellingham has made eight appearances this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists.
