Jude Bellingham makes announcement by following Cristiano Ronaldo

Real Madrid hero Jude Bellingham is often hailed as a new-wave "Galáctico". While he might be signed during a different Real Madrid period, the England international cost a fair penny and he is paying Real Madrid back in dividends.

In his first spell last season, Jude Bellingham set the world alight. He set himself on a pedestal as one of Real Madrid's best players, alongside Vinícius Júnior and others. An assist in the UEFA Champions League final only proved what Real Madrid fans had already learned: Jude is a big game player.

It is clear that Jude Bellingham understands the weight of the Real Madrid jersey. He knows and appreciates how much this club means to its fans and he gets a real buzz out of meeting those expectations.

With that being said, it's no surprise to see him following in the footsteps of a much-adored Real Madrid legend.

As Jude Bellingham pointed out on his social media, he has opened up a YouTube channel. He has been documenting his career and what it is like to represent Real Madrid behind closed doors.

In his own words, Jude Bellingham said: "Hi everyone, I've been recording behind the scenes footage of my journey throughout the last year. Now, I'm finally ready to share my life ‘Out of the Floodlights’ with you all. Starting 12th September, I’ll post four weekly episodes on my new YouTube channel."

This is not the first time that football fans have been offered a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like to be a footballer. After all, there have been multiple club-centric documentary series over the last few years, offering an insight behind closed doors.

Also, Man United legend Ben Foster made movements into the content-creation landscape, while still playing. Now retired, he had a YouTube channel showing what it was like to be a footballer, most notably for Hollywood-owned Welsh club Wrexham.

Furthermore, Cristiano Ronaldo set a new world record in this world just last week. The Portugal international, who is known to break records, gained the most amount of subscribers in a 24-hour period.

Jude Bellingham is still young, so this is exciting to see. Just by being a Real Madrid player, he already has a worldwide network of fans. Therefore, we are sure that millions will tune in to watch his footage.
