Bellingham Slapped Argentina Substitute After England Exit The World Cup semi final defeat to Argentina left England reeling, but it was a different kind of reaction that grabbed attention: Jude Bellingham's slap on the back of Valentin Barco's head.
The incident sparked a brief melee as players from both sides got involved. England's hopes were dashed in the dying minutes of the game when Lautaro Martinez scored the winner for Argentina in stoppage time.
This crushing blow to a team riding high on momentum and confidence throughout the tournament raises questions about Bellingham's reaction. Did he justify a response that bordered on violence?
