Tuchel says Bellingham must accept substitutions as England spirit comes first

November 2025

Thomas Tuchel addressed claims Jude Bellingham did not fully embrace England’s collective after being substituted for Morgan Rogers, saying any impression of individual frustration is a bad look when camp messages stress unity, shared sacrifice and acceptance of tough decisions during a crowded international schedule. Tuchel said he would review footage but believes everyone celebrated Harry Kane’s goals together, stressing that both Bellingham and Rogers want to play every minute yet must accept rotation. He repeated that behaviour is key and that players must handle in game choices without public displays of dissent.

Carlo Ancelotti explains Real Madrid collapse despite Mbappe arrival

Ancelotti reflected on how a title-winning Madrid side with Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham failed to win silverware, slipping behind Barcelona in La Liga and exiting the Champions League at the quarter-final stage. He pointed to a severe defensive injury crisis that disrupted Madrid’s structure, with Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao suffering ACL issues and Antonio Rudiger (Real Madrid) playing hurt. The backline problems forced tactical reshuffles, broke rhythm across the team and eroded the defensive identity that underpinned earlier success.

Tuchel snubs chance to watch Bellingham at Anfield as England recall hangs

Thomas Tuchel and assistant Anthony Barry skipped Real Madrid’s trip to Liverpool, deepening uncertainty over Jude Bellingham’s place. Despite scoring in three straight games, the midfielder has not played for England since June. Tuchel is finalising his squad for World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania and maintains he can leave out even elite talent if the balance is wrong. Past remarks strained the relationship, making this non-appearance a pointed signal before selections.

Bellingham flashpoint inflames Clásico as Madrid go five clear

October 2025

Jude Bellingham produced a goal and assist in Real Madrid’s 2–1 win, but a first-half clash with Pedri—who pushed for a red—rekindled animosity between the camps. The Englishman threaded Kylian Mbappé in for 1–0 and tapped the eventual winner, reinforcing his decisive edge versus Barcelona while tensions simmered on and off the pitch. Madrid leveraged inside-channel runs and second-phase pressure to free Bellingham between lines. Friction management now matters: anticipate calmer substitution messaging and senior player mediation to prevent afters overshadowing title pursuit. Barcelona must dampen provocation narratives, tighten midfield spacing, and deny Bellingham’s half-spaces with earlier body orientation from pivots.

Dugarry slams Vinícius for Clasico “whining” after Alonso substitution

Vinícius reacted angrily to a 72’ substitution—storming off, later returning—and joined post-match altercations. Dugarry blasted his conduct as disrespectful to the coach. The flashpoint overshadowed a statement win that ended a four-game drought versus Barça, despite Vinícius influencing phases including the move before Bellingham’s winner. Madrid’s man-management test continues: aligning star temperament with Alonso’s control ethos. Expect clearer substitution protocols and leadership intervention from veterans. For Vinícius, reputational repair requires disciplined pressing, cleaner decision-making, and restraint under provocation. Winning softens noise, but repetition will escalate dressing-room consequences and tactical recalibration of late-game wide roles.

After shoulder surgery and a stop-start return, Bellingham says he’s physically “back,” fresh off a Champions League goal vs Juventus. With Madrid two points clear, he relishes facing Barcelona’s injury-hit side and dueling Rashford centrally. England tensions with Tuchel fade into background as Bellingham eyes midfield control, late-arriving runs, and decisive moments at the Bernabéu.

Juventus rue missed chances in narrow Madrid loss

Juventus
October 2025

Juventus fell 1–0 to Real Madrid in the Champions League, conceding late to Bellingham after Vinícius hit the post. Big stops from Courtois denied Weston McKennie and Dušan Vlahović; Michele De Gregorio kept Juve alive with key saves at the other end. Madrid tilted control after halftime through Diaz–Mbappé combinations and second-phase pressure. Vinícius’ dribble split a retreating block; Bellingham finished the rebound. Tudor called for shared responsibility and leadership, noting Juventus lack the “champion” aura of past sides but must back current players.

Returning early from August shoulder surgery for Real Madrid, Bellingham was still left out of England’s October squad as Thomas Tuchel rotated and qualified early. Tuchel plans direct contact before November, stressing no punishment and continued competition for places after a perfect qualifying window that secured World Cup 2026.

Real Madrid’s 2026 official calendar notably excludes Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold, symbolising a dip in their status amid form and injury struggles. Bellingham, recovering from shoulder surgery, has lost his automatic starting role under Xabi Alonso, while Alexander-Arnold’s debut season has been hampered by a serious hamstring injury.
Bellingham has started only one of Madrid’s past three matches since returning and was also omitted from Thomas Tuchel’s latest England squad due to fitness concerns. Alexander-Arnold, signed from Liverpool in the summer, tore his biceps femoris muscle during his Champions League debut and remains sidelined. Madrid insist both remain key to long-term plans but face immediate competition from rising talents such as Arda Güler and Franco Mastantuono.

Jude Bellingham asked Gareth Southgate to omit him from England’s October internationals to prioritize full recovery after a shoulder surgery. Despite returning early for Madrid games, he admitted he isn’t 100% fit and opted for caution.
Marca reports Bellingham will stay in Madrid for a “mini pre-season” under Alonso during the break. England accepted the request, avoiding risks. He missed September’s camp too, underscoring Madrid’s role in managing his workload carefully.
