• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Bellingham’s 2024-25 campaign has been a tale of ups and downs. Following a notable dip in form, the midfielder has shown a resurgence in recent months. One of his standout moments came in the semi-final against Mallorca, where he scored the opening goal in a 3-0 win. This brought his tally to nine goals in his last 12 matches across all competitions, highlighting his return to form. However, a minor thigh strain sustained in the semi-final may have affected his performance in the final against Barcelona.
