Hero of the Clásico between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, with a goal and an assist, Jude Bellingham does not escape criticism, in particular because of a less elegant side that he displayed. At the end of the match, the 22-year-old English midfielder celebrated the Merengues' victory with a gesture in bad taste, simulating touching his private parts – a provocation which seemed intended for the Catalan supporters present at the Santiago Bernabéu, according to Mundo Deportivo.
This is not the first time that the former Borussia Dortmund has done this. In 2024, during a Euro match between England and Slovakia, he had already done the same thing after scoring, later explaining that“it was a joke for friends in the stands”. This “joke” then cost him a match suspension and a fine of 30,000 euros. Yesterday, he repeated the gesture, this time adding his tongue out, in the heart of an already very tense confrontation.
