Real Madrid midfielder, Jude Bellingham has sent a message to Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai after he scored a howitzer against Leicester City in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
Liverpool conceded in the first three minutes of the encounter after Kasey McAteer profited from a counter attack. But goals from Cody Gakpo, Szoboszlai and Diogo Jota ensured the Reds ran out winners at Anfield.
It was Szoboszlai’s strike in the 70th minute that picked the attention in the encounter.
He was able to make a beautiful connection with the ball, as he swung his right foot, sending Foxes shot-stopper Jakub Stolarczyk scrabbling in the air.
It was the Hungarian midfielder’s second goal in four games for Liverpool. And Bellingham, who joined Real Madrid in June and has been ripping it up for the Spanish powerhouse, responded.
According to the Daily Express, the England star praised Szoboszlai on Instagram by leaving a remark on his post. Bellingham just typed “Szobooo,” adding a rocket emoji to show the force of his devastating hit.

After being drawn away in round four of the Carabao Cup against fellow Premier League side, Bournemouth, they will have high expectations of making it to the quarterfinals.
