Jude Bellingham teamed up with French football legend Zinedine Zidane to promote Adidas’ Y-3 range in a stylish new advert on Thursday.
Zidane, who sported Bellingham’s No 5 shirt during his illustrious career at the Bernabeu, was part of Real Madrid’s star-studded Galacticos team of the early 2000s, which included the likes of Ronaldo Nazario, Luis Figo and David Beckham.
Bellingham has made no secret of his admiration for Zidane, admitting he was ‘like a child’ when he met the icon for the first time during the 2022 Champions League final, but he cut a cool and composed figure alongside the World Cup winner as the pair posed together in all-black jackets.
Captioning the new Y-3 advert, ‘One team, two generations, three stripes,’ Adidas unveiled the photographs on social media on Wednesday, garnering a positive reaction from awestruck fans.
