Former Liverpool Midfielder, Didi Hamann has claimed that Real Madrid won the UEFA Champions League last season because of four players – Andriy Lunin, Toni Kroos, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo – and not Jude Bellingham.
Hamann said this while hitting out at Bellingham for his attitude on the pitch of play.
He believes the England midfielder is going down the wrong route.
“Jude Bellingham, at the moment, is going down the wrong route,” Hamann told TopOffshoreSportsBooks.
“If you look at some of the comments he has made, including about the referee in Germany when he got away with a fine when he should have been banned.
“Then he scores the last-minute goal against Slovakia [at Euro 2024] and he stands there saying: ‘Who else?’
“Now I’d like to know what all his teammates think because there are 10 players next to him who are top-class players in their own right.
“He had a good first half of the season at Real Madrid. But in the quarter-final, semi-final and the final of the Champions League he was nowhere to be seen.
“They won the Champions League because of Andriy Lunin, because of Toni Kroos, because of Vini Junior, because of Rodrygo – not because of Bellingham.”
