(VIDEO) The world's fastest man has repeated the Bellingham celebration

The day before the annual Laureus award ceremony in Paris, a meeting took place between the legendary athlete Usain Bolt and the new leader of Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham.

The athletes met on the red carpet, and for a joint photo, they performed Bellingham's iconic celebration, where he spreads his arms wide.

Yesterday, Bellingham repeated this celebration after scoring the winning goal in El Clásico, which ended 3-2 in favor of Madrid.
