Bellingham became a laughingstock against Bayern Munich

The Der Klassiker match is always the focus of German football, yet this time, attention was drawn to a memorable moment from Jobe Bellingham, the sibling of the famous Jude Bellingham.

Jobe Bellingham was brought on in the second half when Dortmund was trailing 0-1 due to a goal by Harry Kane. Having spent much of the season on the bench, the English player was determined to make an impact and secure a starting spot. However, instead of becoming a hero, he turned into the villain with a mistake that left Dortmund fans stunned.

In the 78th minute, following a pass that split Dortmund’s defense from Harry Kane, Luis Diaz broke free down the left flank and delivered a dangerous cross into the penalty area. Bellingham had dropped back to shield the goal and seemed poised to clear the ball easily. Yet at the critical moment, he fumbled and got the ball stuck between his legs.

Seizing the opportunity, Michael Olise, a former Crystal Palace player, rushed in to tackle and sent the ball straight into Dortmund’s net, leaving the away team in shock. Bayern fans in the stands went wild as the score doubled to 2-0, while Bellingham stood motionless, hands on his head, unable to believe what had just happened.

Dortmund later scored a consolation goal through Julian Brandt in the 84th minute, but it was too late to turn the game around. Bayern Munich secured all three points and maintained their lead at the top of the table, five points ahead of RB Leipzig. In stark contrast to the home team’s joy was the devastated expression on Jobe Bellingham’s face after the final whistle—a moment likely to haunt him for a long time.

On social media, fans quickly reacted to this costly error. One user sarcastically commented: “Bro just assisted the opponent himself.” Another mocked: “Is this really a Golden Boy candidate?” Some even referenced his brother Jude with remarks like: “Can’t handle the ball like his famous brother.”

This mistake is surely a major blow for Jobe Bellingham, who was once expected to follow in his brother's footsteps and shine in the Bundesliga. However, at 19, this could also serve as a valuable lesson for his growth. Meanwhile, Harry Kane continued to demonstrate his difference by contributing to both goals and earning the man of the match award.
