Jude Bellingham is truly iconic. Despite initial hiccups at the 2024 Euros, England’s starboy has finally managed to pull a rabbit out if his hat. After waiting for more than 95 minutes, his goal was all the more worth it as it gave England a lifeline against Slovakia. The Three Lions were a few minutes away from a Round of 16 exit when the Real Madrid man stepped up.
In desperation, Kyle Walker sent in a long throw-in towards the goal post. Marc Guehi‘s header hung in the air for a moment before the 21-year-old’s overhead kick found the back of the net. The crowd erupted in celebrations as Bellingham embraced the moment with his teammates. The 21-year-old was swarmed by his teammates, both on and off the pitch.
Cameras spotted the player saying ‘Who else!‘ to his fellow teammates on the bench. It appears that the youngster has truly embraced his role as a difference maker and thrives in situations like these.
The No.10 had earlier been heavily criticized for his lacklustre performances in the group stages. Extra time that followed featured an entirely different story as England found the winner within a minute from kick-off.
Fans react to Jude Bellingham’s iconic winner against Slovakia

Following the game, fans took to social media as reactions, praise and acclaim poured in from all sides. A fan commented that Bellingham is the chosen one to lead England to success.
A few were relieved that England narrowly avoided defeat and thanked Bellingham for his moment of brilliance. Others laughed at rival fans who claimed that the No.10 only came in clutch for Real Madrid. Despite being happy with the win, supporters were still unconvinced of Gareth Southgate and his tactics. A few claimed that Bellingham’s goal saved Southgate’s job.
Not even rival fans could find fault with his goal and admitted that it was one of the most iconic moments in this year’s tournament till date. However, his goal meant that Bellingham will once again start getting shouts for the Ballon d’Or. To sum things up, a fan claimed that Vinicius Jr. or Bellingham will win the Ballon d’Or depending on who ultimately lifts the Copa America/ Euros.
