Real Madrid Confidencial UCL Future in Jeopardy: Bellingham's Message to Haaland after the Defeat against PSG
The midfielder left a like showing his support for Haaland after the defeat in Paris, which leaves them in a delicate situation
Manchester City suffered a tough 4-2 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League group stage. Pep Guardiola's team let slip an initial 2-0 lead, something that has jeopardized their future in the tournament.
City started strong in the second half. Jack Grealish scored the first after a rebound and, minutes later, assisted Erling Haaland for the 2-0.
However, PSG reacted strongly. Led by João Neves and Ousmane Dembélé, the Parisians scored four goals. The comeback left Guardiola's side without answers.
A critical situation
This defeat, combined with a previous draw against Feyenoord after wasting a 3-0 lead, leaves Manchester City in a complicated position. Their qualification for the next round of the Champions League is at risk.
After the match, Haaland used Instagram to express his frustration. “It was a tough fight last night, we have to keep working and believing,” wrote the Norwegian forward.
The message received support from several teammates and football figures. Among them, the "like" from Jude Bellingham, Real Madrid's star, stood out.
Bellingham's gesture
The English midfielder, Haaland's teammate and friend at Borussia Dortmund, showed his support. Although he didn't comment directly, his gesture didn't go unnoticed by the fans.
With this defeat, Manchester City must win their last match if they want to keep their Champions League hopes alive. Guardiola now faces enormous pressure to avoid an early elimination.
The defeat against PSG leaves Manchester City in a delicate situation in the Champions League. Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham's support for Haaland demonstrates the close relationship between the two. But for City, only results can change the outlook.
