Jude BellinghamEngland’s big star in the 2026 World Cup, was devastated after his team’s 2-1 defeat against Argentina in the semifinals.
“I think we can get a lot of experience from this, but it’s heartbreaking. I wanted to be part of an English team that finally did it and achieved the goal. Being here, telling the fans the same thing they’ve been hearing for years, is really heartbreaking,” declared the player of the ‘Three Lions’, who haven’t won a title since 1966.
Bellingham, who scored 6 goals and provided 1 assist during the World Cup, confessed that “I wish I could have given the fans one or two more victories, but right now my mind is a little clouded by disappointment, so I’m sorry.”
“It’s a very sad day,” Bellingham confirmed to Hugo Ballester on Cadena COPE.
Jude Bellingham was a negative protagonist at the end of the match, after being caught hitting Valentín Barco on the back of the head in response to the alleged provocations of the Argentine footballers after winning.
The Real Madrid footballer revealed to the media why he argued with Leo Messi in the first half: “The talk with Messi? In reality, we were discussing a foul. It wasn’t anything bad. I’m sure everyone will do their thing and turn it into a big deal, but it was nothing.”
“I thought there was a foul before and Messi said: ‘And what about the one they did to me?’ And I said: ‘You’re strong enough to handle it’, do you know what I mean?” he said.
Bellingham acknowledged that “obviously, I’m on the losing side, which hurts a lot, but it’s a privilege to play against one of the best (Messi).”
