Jude Bellingham

Erling Haaland's finish for Manchester City's winning goal against Borussia Dortmund was reminiscent of a famous Johan Cruyff goal for Barcelona against ...

They are off the mark in Group F with one point, but the Celtic fans will have a feeling of frustration. They had more than enough chances to beat the Ukrainians. It was hard to see Shakhtar scoring in the first half, but they showed why they're among Europe's elite with that quick counterattack. There are ready-made replacements in waiting - expect them to be utilised if he cannot reach the mark. Chelsea did hold Salzburg in their own half for long periods but at no point did you believe the former Barcelona striker was going to make a discernible difference. His reading of the situation to beat the City defenders to Marco Reus' cross was very Frank Lampard-like. The days of debating whether Lampard and Gerrard can play together are gone. Mature beyond his years, the clamour for a more important role for Bellingham within the England set up looks set only to get louder as Qatar approaches. And yet, as the supporters strode away from the stadium, it was the stunning denouement that will have been freshest in their mind. The bigger the stage. On this night, they were the victims of it. Dortmund were once the beneficiaries of this extraordinary talent.

Jude Bellingham's performance for Borussia Dortmund at Manchester City shows why he should be an England starter, says Phil McNulty.

It could come back in a moment of inspiration but City have such riches that he needs to find form and fast. This is why City were determined to beat the likes of Real Madrid to Haaland's signature. Add this to their list of recent comebacks. It is no surprise that every top club in Europe is casting eyes towards Dortmund should they decide to sell next summer. Bellingham has the full range of passing. Phillips was thrown on for Haaland as City manager Pep Guardiola ran down the clock but at kick-off on Wednesday he had figured for a grand total of 13 minutes and two games, with no starts and only 23 touches, since the £45m switch from Elland Road that was designed to propel his career forward for club and country.

Erling Haaland produced a spectacular finish to ensure Man City picked up all three points against former club Borussia Dortmund with his goal earning ...

He claimed: “We had a lot of problems to reach our rhythm and were so passive in our movements. Guardiola also added: “I remember my dear friend Ibrahimovic had this ability to put his leg on the roof and Erling is quite similar in that. It was an incredible assist by João and the finishing from Erling was exceptional.” [Erling Haaland](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/erling-braut-haaland) was coming up against his former team, whom he left in the summer to pursue a new challenge with the English champions. His finish also saw his manager drawing comparisons with the legendary Johan Cruyff, who finished in a similar way decades ago at the Nou Camp. The goal was Haaland's third in the Champions League this term after he'd notched a brace against Sevilla last week.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has given his verdict on Jude Bellingham amid consistent reports linking the Borussia Dortmund midfielder with Liverpool.

Everybody knows it.” “So he’s an exceptional player, I think everyone knows it. “Defensively he’s able to follow Gundogan or Kevin [De Bruyne] in the pockets and win the duels. Bellingham was in action for Dortmund on Wednesday night as he scored against Man City in their Champions League group match at the Etihad. But Dortmund are thought to value the 19-year-old in excess of £100m. [Reds](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc) continue to be credited with an interest in Bellingham, as has been the case for more than a year now.

Rio Ferdinand believes England international Jude Bellingham will be thinking he has “already outgrown Borussia Dortmund”.

“He does the basics always really well. He can play further forward, deeper, he can pass it,” said former England midfielder Hargreaves. “He will be important because he will get them up the pitch and want to show them this is his stage and show he is the real deal. “With all due respect, he will think, ‘I could be a year behind when I should have left’. “He’s physical and aggressive. Once you repeat that, it is like the great tennis players.

Pep Guardiola has delivered his verdict on Jude Bellingham after the Englishman put in a good performance against Manchester City on Wednesday night.

Dortmund could be more tempted, or open, to selling the teenager with that in mind. Plus, he looks a shoo-in for Gareth Southgate's Three Lions World Cup squad and quality performances on the biggest stage may inflate his value that little bit more. Jurgen Klopp's Reds are in a similar boat though, especially considering how the likes of Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho have been impacted by injuries in recent months. "Defensively he’s able to follow Gundogan or Kevin [De Bruyne] in the pockets and win the duels. With the futures of N'Golo Kante and Jorginho at Stamford Bridge uncertain, the Blues are in need of long-term midfield replacements. "So he’s an exceptional player, I think everyone knows it.

Rio Ferdinand believes that Jude Bellingham has "already outgrown" Borussia Dortmund, but the ambitious Bundesliga side are aiming to keep the midfielder.

Then we come back to the beginning of the interview, we try to keep our best players. And Bellingham is the superstar they want to keep and build a team around. And we would like to keep our best players longer than the last few years – it’s impossible [to keep them sometimes]. We have to renew our philosophy every year.” [Ferdinand](https://www.teamtalk.com/tag/rio-ferdinand) believes the time has already come for Bellingham to leave. Bellingham was in action for Dortmund at The Etihad against Manchester City on Wednesday night and the watching scouts will have been suitably impressed.

Jude Bellingham has been likened to Steven Gerrard after another eye-catching display for Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

The now Aston Villa manager, of course, spent the near entirety of his career at Anfield, meaning there is a good chance Bellingham has paid close attention to a number of Reds matches during which the former club captain was playing. But I think I would go Gerrard, though. He’s a swiss army knife, he is. "The way he speaks for a 19-year-old, it’s not normal. The English midfielder opened the scoring at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening, displaying effective movement inside the City penalty area to head past Ederson from close range. READ MORE:

Liverpool did not need any convincing on Jude Bellingham, but Pep Guardiola has explained why the prospective move would be exactly what Anfield needs.

But Guardiola has condensed into a couple of sentences exactly why Jude Bellingham would be worth the wait. And he can do all that while elevating the Liverpool midfield above the purely functional unit it has been in the past — he tracks like Gini Wijnaldum and attacks like Elliott. [Guardiola](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/jurgen-klopp-guardiola-liverpool-reinvention-24993138), Liverpool or anyone else, he went ahead and did it anyway. At Dortmund, he has primarily played as a left-sided midfielder, and he could yet end up there if he moves to Liverpool. Again, this will not be news to Liverpool. When that process is happening properly, it gives the 23-year-old more scope to push forward, allowing him to use his creative prowess to properly influence the game as a playmaker. The full-back must surely also shoulder some of the responsibility, but the inexperienced converted winger in front of him has not offered all that much by way of protection. On the right of midfield, in particular, a debate is raging — more evidence of the typical lack of consensus among the fan base. And Liverpool certainly did not need the assessment of Pep Guardiola to convince them. “Defensively he’s able to follow Gündoğan or Kevin [De Bruyne] in the pockets and win the duels. It is unclear whether Bellingham would come in to play this Elliott role. He is not going through an audition — all of the top clubs already want him.

Liverpool are at the head of the queue for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, according to a report.

He's combative, both sides of the game, aggressive, he's a Swiss-army-knife, he does everything. "In England, all the top clubs, not just Liverpool, are following Bellingham. Thinking I'm a year behind when I should've left because he's got that self belief that you need to take you to them heights," Ferdinand told BT Sport. "I think these are two teams that have very good chances to get him. Very good personality." "He's an upcoming superstar player.

To make matters worse for the Premier League clubs, according to the [CIES football observatory](https://football-observatory.com/-values-173080), his estimated transfer value is actually far higher than that. Unless the talented youngster agrees on new terms with Dortmund before next summer rolls around, he will go into the transfer market with two years left to run on his contract. Plus, it looks as though he's all but guaranteed to make Gareth Southgate's Three Lions World Cup squad and quality performances on the biggest stage may inflate his value that little bit more. The econometric system estimates that Bellingham is worth between €150million-€200million (£130.4million-£174million). Jurgen Klopp's side are in a similar position though, especially considering how the likes of Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho have been impacted by injuries in recent months.

Lampard was used in a diamond midfield both behind the strikers and as a natural 8. He was part of the Euro 2020 squad last summer but didn't start a match and played less than one hour in total across three games. He defends well as a midfield player but then he has the potential to be offensive. It is believed that the Blues did make an attempt, albeit it speculative, to get him one season early, but that was to no avail. Next summer there won't be the same freedom and they could end up in a mammoth bidding war. City have a relationship with Dortmund that Chelsea can't currently rival, with Roman Abramovich and Marina Granovskaia not having been involved in transfer discussions with the German club in recent years. The pair played each other in the 2021 tournament and one year later Erling Haaland is tearing up the Premier League in a sky blue shirt. He is a box-to-box player, that old-school profile. He’s only improved and his price has certainly only gone up." But this kid is also capable of scoring from outside the box. "Lampard shoots ten times, he scores nine goals, he always hits the target. It was like that two or three years ago.

Man United continue to be heavily linked with the prospect of signing Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham.

Although Bellingham's focus will soon switch to matters on the international stage, his future at club level remains a hot topic. Since joining Dortmund just over two years ago, the former Birmingham man has racked up 99 appearances, scoring 13 goals and grabbing 18 assists. Despite falling short in their efforts, they have remained linked with his signature ever since - and it is easy to understand why. Prior to his move to Germany, he visited United's Carrington training ground in March of that same year, with The England international headed Dortmund into the lead, but saw his heroics undone late on, courtesy of goals from John Stones and Erling Haaland, who secured a 2-1 win for the hosts. Dortmund, despite being the underdogs, threatened to produce a professional away performance that so nearly earned them at least a point.

JUDE BELLINGHAM and Phil Foden were involved in a heated argument during Manchester City's win over Borussia Dortmund.

And a repeat of that could end up with both players missing the tournament if they are unable to sort the issue out. A rash challenge from Foden on Bellingham early in the game set the tone for a feisty encounter and it has shown no sign of letting up since. But it would resemble a dilemma for Southgate if the pair are unable to patch things up in the near future.
