Jude Bellingham has been on the news for all the right reasons recently. But he has made a rare error in judgement by boarding the Ukrainian team bus after England’s 1-1 draw with Ukraine in Wroclaw on Saturday.
The Real Madrid player started the match for Gareth Southgate’s side and played 65 minutes. He was replaced by Marcus Rashford in the second half, as England became desperate to find the winner.
As the England team prepared to leave the ground after the clash, Bellingham made an awkward blunder.
The footage captured by a fan shows the Real Madrid player entering the car park of the Wroclaw stadium. He then absentmindedly boards the Ukraine national football team bus.
Bellingham nearly reached his seat when he noticed the Ukraine players seated in their assigned positions. This prompted Bellingham to make a sharp U-turn as the driver and others on the bus laughed.
He then made his way back off the bus, smiling, and waved to the onlookers.

The irony of the situation was not lost on fans who took to social media to show the funny side of the incident.
One social media user commented, “Bro is always funny,” while another joked, “He’s getting a little tired of playing with Jordan Henderson.”
Despite this lapse in judgment, which is not something typically associated with him, Bellingham has been off to a great start to its 2023/24 La Liga campaign.
After joining Real Madrid for an initial fee of £88.5million, the midfielder has scored a staggering five goals in four appearances for Los Blancos, as well as contributing one assist.
He is on track to establish himself as one of the finest players in the world and will be a key player for England – provided he maintains his upward curve.
