England star Jude Bellingham was left hysterical after Gianfranco Zola made a ‘breast milk’ joke while working for Channel 4 on Tuesday night.
The Real Madrid star provided the assist for Marcus Rashford as the Three Lions beat Italy to book their place at Euro 2024.
Bellingham has developed significantly since leaving Borussia Dortmund for Madrid in the summer transfer window.
He is getting better and better with every passing match and is now considered one of the best midfielders in all of world football.

Bellingham spoke to Channel 4 after the game.
And he was left embarrassed when Zola joked that he was breastfeeding at the same age as the England star now.
Zola joked: “I have to say this guy makes me laugh.
“Even at 20, I was sucking my mother’s milk and this guy is huge. I’m so impressed.”
Bellingham laughed when the comments were made and responded to Zola’s quip by saying ‘straight not’.
The excitement was high after the match with England and they outclassed their opponents in the early stages.
Gianluca Scamacca put Italy ahead in the 15th minute to silence the Wembley crowd.
But after this, England tried to turn the game with the help of two goals from Harry Kane and a goal from Marcus Rashford and won.
However, Bellingham was the best player on the field as the Three Lions made it five wins from six in Euro 2024 qualifying.
The draw against Ukraine last month is the only match they have failed to win.
And Bellingham and England will be dreaming of progressing when the Euros begin next summer.
BBC Sports pundit Rob Green was another who praised the 20-year-old for his performance at Wembley.
Speaking on Radio Five Live he said: “Bellingham is better than everyone else, and he knows it!
“He just thinks, ‘I tell you what, I can run this game.’ And he just goes and does it.
“He is one of the few players in the world who can identify the smallest space and beat the entire midfield. He has drive, power, determination.
“His running and energy provided the spark for the penalty for the first goal, he drew away the defenders and created space for Rashford to score the second goal.
“Just an all-round great performance.”
Provided he remains injury free, Bellingham is also likely to be involved in the next international break.
England are scheduled to face Malta on November 17, having defeated the same opponents 4-0 at the start of the year.
