Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham says he has got his smile back after “feeling a bit like the scapegoat” for England’s failure to win Euro 2024 in the summer.
Bellingham came under criticism from fans for some of his performances at the tournament.
“I lost my smile a lot playing for England after the Euros as I felt I was a little mistreated compared to what I contributed,” Bellingham said before Real Madrid’s Champions League meeting with Liverpool.
“I think it was a bit harsh on me. I felt a bit like the scapegoat. Maybe I felt a bit sorry for myself.
“I felt I contributed some pretty big moments, but it felt like the whole world was crumbling down on me, especially in the three days after final. It wasn’t a nice feeling.”
