Three points were awarded to Bellingham in the Euro 2024 semifinals.

Jude Bellingham, a midfielder, received three points from the French publication L’Équipe for his awkward and unimpressive performance against the Netherlands in the Euro 2024 semifinals.

Bellingham, including with Real and the national team, is playing in his 53rd match across all competitions since the start of the 2023–2024 season versus the Netherlands. This attacking midfielder participated in the entire 90-minute game, but his statistical performance was not great—he touched the ball 63 times, completed two passes, and passed 88% of the time with a crucial pass. and eleven times lost the ball.

L’Équipe noted of Bellingham’s performance, “Once again, Real’s players disappointed and seemed invisible on the pitch.” “Clumsy, like the situation of coordinating a foul with Phil Foden in the 27th minute, or the foul with Stefan De Vrij and receiving a yellow card, or the failure to catch Luke Shaw’s cross in the 88th minute.”

The unimpressive performance of Bellingham versus the Netherlands was also criticised by the Spanish publication Marca. “It’s difficult for Bellingham to leave a mark when playing on the left side of Gareth Southgate’s squad,” said this newspaper. “Bellingham could not incite danger from the second line, but he did have certain circumstances demonstrating class. After a lengthy season, Bellingham seems to be in decline.”

L’Équipe gave captain Harry Kane five points after criticising him. The top sports daily in France noted that although they respected the 30-year-old striker’s successful penalty kick to tie the game, Kane was “missing” from the game and appeared to be losing strength and not in good condition. finest.

Kieran Trippier was given a score of five and chastised for not making any notable marks on the left side. Declan Rice was also given a five, as L’Équipe gave him credit for his perseverance even if they lost the ball. too much, even the circumstances surrounding Xavi Simons’ first goal. Kyle Walker and Jordan Pickford each scored five points.

Phil Foden, an English player, scored the highest, totaling seven points. The 24-year-old midfielder, according to L’Équipe, was unlucky to have his shot strike the wooden frame at the end of the first half. Nevertheless, he was always there to assist his teammates. Foden made 56 touches of the ball against the Netherlands, finished three times with two shots on goal, and completed all 40 passes with accuracy.

John Stones, Marc Guehi, Bukayo Saka, and Kobbie Mainoo, the final English starting players, all scored five points. Southgate, meanwhile, was awarded seven points and was praised for his strategies and substitution choices as well. Cole Palmer and Ollie Watkins, two substitutes, combined to score the goal that put Southgate ahead 2-1.

When Xavi Simons opened the scoring in the seventh minute with a spectacular long-range shot, L’Équipe, the Dutch team, awarded him the maximum score of seven points. Tijjani Reijnders scored five points, Denzel Dumfries and Cody Gakpo scored four, while Virgil van Dijk, Nathan Ake, Stefan de Vrij, Bart Verbruggen, Jerdy Schouten, and coach Ronald Koeman gained a score of six. With three points, Donyell Malen had the lowest score, and Memphis Depay, who was injured and departed the field in the 35th minute, did not collect a point.
