Jude Bellingham mystery as he’s AXED from Real Madrid 2026 calendar… with Trent Alexander-Arnold also missing

TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD has finally completed his move to Real Madrid joins an exclusive club to pull on the famous white jersey.

So how did those who came before him get on?

LAURIE CUNNINGHAM (1979-1984)

Real Madrid splashed out £950,000 to sign Cunningham from West Brom in 1979.

As one of the “Three Degrees” alongside Cyrille Regis and Brendon Batson, Cunningham had left an unforgettable mark at the Hawthorns.

The left winger became an instant hit in the Spanish capital, scoring twice on his debut.

Cunningham helped his side to the LaLiga title in 1980, and played in the European Cup final against Liverpool the following year.

Following a loan spell with Manchester United, Cunningham moved to Marseille in 1984.

Having played for Leicester, Charleroi and Wimbledon, Cunningham returned to Madrid with Rayo Vallecano in 1988.

The following year he tragically died in a car crash in the city aged just 33.

STEVE MCMANAMAN (1999-2003)

Like Alexander-Arnold is set to, McManaman left boyhood club Liverpool for the bright lights of Madrid in 1999.

A silky winger, McManaman proved to be a hit in Madrid.

The Bernabeu crowd immediately took to their new English hero, with his floppy hair and nonchalant flair.

McManaman helped Real win six trophies in four years, and scored his side’s second goal in their victorious 2000 Champions League final.

He went on to leave Madrid in 2003, spending the final two years of his career with Manchester City.

After hanging up his boots, McManaman worked as a pundit for Setanta Sports, BT Sport and ESPN.

Now 53, he can regularly be seen on TNT Sports’ football coverage, especially when Liverpool or Real Madrid are playing.

DAVID BECKHAM (2003-2007)

In 2003, Real Madrid made Manchester United superstar Beckham their latest Galactico.

Golden Balls joined a squad boasting the likes of Ronaldo, Raul, Zinedine Zidane and Roberto Carlos in the Spanish capital.

Despite his love for high-end fashion and the celebrity lifestyle, Beckham became much beloved in Spain for his incredible work rate, professionalism and of course, quality.

Despite boasting a star-studded squad, the fabled La Decima – a tenth Champions League triumph – eluded Real Madrid during his four-year stint.

He didn’t leave empty-handed, however, winning the LaLiga title in 2007 before leaving for LA Galaxy.

Since Beckham hung up his boots in 2013 he has continued to have several endorsement deals; including the likes of Adidas, Armani, Pepsi and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Beckham, 49, also owns MLS side Inter Miami, and played a big role in their groundbreaking deal for Lionel Messi in 2023.

MICHAEL OWEN (2004-2005)

Like McManaman before him, Owen quit Liverpool for Real Madrid.

But the former Ballon d’Or winner endured a frustrating season at the Bernabeu, finding himself stuck behind Ronaldo and Raul.

Twelve months on from Owen’s £8million switch, Real Madrid doubled their money by flogging him to Newcastle.

Owen then spent three years with Liverpool’s rivals Man Utd, before one final year at Stoke.

Immediately after hanging up his boots, Owen signed up to be BT Sport’s primary co-commentator upon the channel’s launch.

In addition to his punditry work, the former striker has enjoyed several other ventures.

Owen, 45, has his own clothing range with Peacocks, while he also appeared on The Masked Singer.

JONATHAN WOODGATE (2004-2007)

Woodgate endured one of the most infamous debuts of all time after switching Newcastle for Real Madrid in 2004.

The luckless defender went through injury hell following the £13.4m transfer, having to wait 17 months before playing his first game.

Just 25 minutes in, the England international headed into his own net. Things then got even worse when he was sent off just after the hour mark.

Woodgate played just 14 times that season, before a loan move to Middlesbrough effectively ended his Real Madrid career.

After signing permanently for Boro, Woody earned a move to Tottenham in January 2008. He won the League Cup barely a month later, and remains the last Spurs player to score a winning goal in a cup final.

Following spells with Stoke and back at Middlesbrough, Woodgate retired in 2016.

He has since gone into coaching, managing Boro and Bournemouth.

Woodgate, 45, returned to Middlesbrough once again in 2022, where he works as a first team coach under Michael Carrick.

JUDE BELLINGHAM (2023-present)

England superstar Bellingham sealed a blockbuster £115m transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid in the summer of 2023.

The move has been a resounding success, with the midfielder immediately excelling in Spain.

Bellingham scored on his debut, and went on net five times in his first four LaLiga matches.

The image of the 21-year-old with his arms outstretched has quickly become an iconic one.

Birmingham’s finest has already won LaLiga and the Champions League during his young career.

And with Alexander-Arnold now alongside him, Bellingham will feel that he can add plenty more to his already impressive trophy tally.
