Russell shares Real Madrid visit photos ahead of UCL game against Man City

With just over a month until the 2025 Formula One season gets underway, George Russell is still enjoying the winter break. The British driver met many football players, including English superstar Jude Bellingham.

Instead of visiting the team at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, George Russell flew all the way to Madrid to see 'Los Blancos' play against city rivals Atlético Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. He travelled together with his Spanish partner, Carmen Montero Mundt.

The Briton didn't bring the best of luck to the English national team player in the Spanish capital, as the team drew against Atletico in LaLiga, with Bellingham hitting the crossbar in the second half with an effort that could have been the decisive goal.

As the Spanish team now travels to England to play Manchester City in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League, the three-time Grand Prix winner shared posts of his trip and meeting other players, including Luka Modric, Thibaut Courtois and Endrick. He also met Eder Militao, who will be unavailable for selection against the Sky Blues, and Brazilian legend Roberto Carlos. See the images below!
