Zero shots on target! England's 130-million-euro star can't handle defeat, vents by hitting the back of a 21-year-old Argentine rising star's head.

In the second World Cup semifinal concluded on July 16 Beijing time, England squandered a golden opportunity. After taking the lead, they were overturned by defending champions Argentina with two consecutive goals, failing to reach the final for the first time in 60 years. After the match, 23-year-old England midfielder Jude Bellingham made a controversial move.

Perhaps unhappy after the reversal, the 130-million-euro-rated Bellingham, at the final whistle, slapped the back of the head of 21-year-old Argentine rising star Valentín Barco.

On-field footage showed that after receiving the unexpected slap, Barco looked confused and turned to argue with Bellingham. Many netizens commented: "Bellingham's action shows he lost both the game and his composure!"; "The English star's mentality completely collapsed in this match!"

In this game, Bellingham failed to continue his previous knockout-stage performances of scoring twice in consecutive matches. Playing the full 90 minutes, he recorded zero shots on goal. With 40 touches, he had no key passes, zero successful aerial duels, and committed three fouls. After the match, Bellingham received a low rating of 6.6.

With England's reversal by Argentina, they also missed the chance to reach the World Cup final for the first time in 60 years, extending their 60-year championship drought.

This World Cup marks the third time in the last 60 years that England has reached the semifinals, but they have been eliminated in the semifinals all three times. The "Golden Generation" led by Bellingham will have to wait another four years, helplessly.
