Jude Bellingham’s incredible journey continued with a goal for England in their Euro 2024 opener against Serbia, leading Gareth Southgate to describe him as a player who “crafts his own narrative.”

At just 20 years old, hailing from Stourbridge, near Birmingham, and currently a player for Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham has etched his name in football history. He is the first European player to grace three major international tournaments before even reaching 21.

He scored in two tournaments, including a goal against Iran in the 2022 World Cup.

The game’s only goal came from his header in the 13th minute in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday.

Bellingham’s dedication to the game and his team is unwavering. He has expressed his readiness to go above and beyond to contribute to the country’s success in the football tournament.

Micah Richards, a former England international and BBC pundit, praised his ability to take control of the game.

“His ability to remain calm is truly remarkable. Despite his young age, he is the team leader and is aware of it. His attitude is outstanding; he has everything. I’m struggling to find the right words to express how outstanding he is. He is extremely skilled at managing the game.”

If he can consistently perform like that in the tournament, he’s the person we can depend on.
