Rio Ferdinand jokingly described Jude Bellingham as someone 'you want your daughter to bring home' after the England superstar delivered a mature and composed interview in the wake of Real Madrid's penalty shootout win over Manchester City on Wednesday.

Bellingham scored his spot-kick for Real Madrid in the shootout to help Carlo Ancelotti's side book their place in the Champions League semi-finals alongside Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.

City, who were vying for a second Treble in two successive seasons, fell short after Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva missed their decisive penalties at the Etihad.

Bellingham, 20, spoke to Ferdinand, TNT Sports host Laura Woods and former Man City star Joleon Lescott after the match, impressing the trio with his maturity.

While the England midfielder calmly answered a difficult question about the pressure and expectations surrounding Real Madrid, Ferdinand interrupted and said: 'How's he answering these questions so eloquently? Tell me, how old are you bro?'
