Joselu is living every fan's dream having sent Real Madrid into the Champions League final - two years after watching them lift the trophy.

"Joselu did a fantastic job. He is a fantastic striker. We did really well and had a lot of energy at the end of the game."
Meanwhile Jude Bellingham joked that his teammate will most likely have a stinker in training tomorrow as he praised him for his vital role in the squad.
He remarked: "I’ve always said it doesn’t matter who scores the goals. I don’t think he’ll be sleeping much tonight - he’ll be useless in training tomorrow!
“Nah, honestly, he deserves it. He’s been an amazing member of the squad the whole season. This is his night.”
