The Real Madrid star was livid after the full time whistle

Jude Bellingham couldn't hide his anger and pain after England lost to Spain in the final of Euro 2024 on Sunday night.

The Three Lions were beaten 2-1 in Berlin, with La Roja reigning supreme after goals from Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal.


Cole Palmer scored a stunning goal for England on the night but it wasn't enough, with Spain fully deserving of their victory.

After the game, Bellingham couldn't contain his rage and disappointment - with the 21-year-old booting a drinks cooler in the England dugout as he struggled to digest the result.

The Real Madrid star also had to be consoled by England staff on the pitch, with Bellingham clearly crushed.

He sat alone in the dugout for a brief period, struggling to watch the sight of Spain players celebrating their triumph.

Bellingham had gone into the tournament with such big expectations on his shoulders.

But though the midfielder scored big goals against the likes of Serbia and Slovakia, he wasn't at his best throughout the competition.

Bellingham, given his young age, will have the chance to go again.

Yet this defeat will hurt and take some time to get over.

Harry Kane, speaking after the game, admitted he was hurt by the defeat.

The Bayern Munich star struggled to make his mark in the final, with England significantly improved following his withdrawal.

And Kane said: "It's hard to put into words how we're all feeling right now.

"Tough game. We did well to get back into the game and struggled to build on that.

"To concede late on is really tough to take.

"We've been coming from behind all tournament, we've got it in the locker. We didn't take the next step and win it.

"In the first half, we struggled. We couldn't keep the ball.

"Second half was better and we got the goal. We got caught with a cross and that's the final.

"It's an opportunity missed. These finals aren't easy to get to. You have to take it when it comes and we haven't done it again.
