Jude Bellingham’s Main Character Moment: Two Goals That Sent Haaland Home
England’s young midfield star delivered a blockbuster performance in their World Cup quarter-final against Norway. At just 23 years old, Bellingham bagged a brace and played 111 minutes to fire England into the semi-finals—knocking out his former Borussia Dortmund teammate Erling Haaland in the process. His match stats tell the story: five shots with two on target, 64 touches, an 83% pass completion rate, three dribbles, three long balls, a tackle, an interception, three recoveries, and eight won ground duels. That effort earned him the Player of the Match award and cemented his place as the second-youngest player after Pele to score in back-to-back World Cup knockout games. Fans on social media could not stop talking about his all-round display and growing legacy. Some declared him a future midfield legend, others celebrated the rare blend of rivalry and friendship with Haaland. Whatever the verdict, Bellingham’s “main character energy” is running this World Cup.
