Will Jude Bellingham be banned for England vs Switzerland at Euro 2024? Lewd ‘inside joke’ goal celebration after stunning overhead kick could land Real Madrid superstar UEFA sanction

European Championship

England

Switzerland

The Real Madrid superstar stepped up when the Three Lions needed him most during their dramatic last-16 encounter with Slovakia. Deep into stoppage-time, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tom-brady-jude-bellingham-england-heroics-nfl-legend-reaction-birmingham-academy-graduate-euro-2024-goal-slovakia/blt5d34599a22861499" target="_blank">Bellingham produced a stunning overhead kick</a> that sent the tie into extra-time and paved the way for record goal-scorer Harry Kane to grab a winner.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Bellingham worked through several celebrations after finding the target – <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-training-revelation-jude-bellingham-england-euro-2024-unbelievable-goal-slovakia/blta93a4944c840dd71" target="_blank">including his most iconic one, which was delivered alongside Kane</a> – but one gesture aimed in the direction of the stands could land him in hot water.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The 21-year-old has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jude-bellingham-speaks-out-lewd-gesture-slovakia-bench-england-equaliser-drama-filled-euro-2024-last-16-tie/blt1c7394a879391bb3" target="_blank">rubbished any suggestion that the lewd gesture</a>, which saw him move his hand back and forth towards his groin, was aimed at the Slovakian bench. Bellingham has posted on social media when explaining his antics: “An inside joke gesture towards some close friends who were at the game. Nothing but respect for how that Slovakia team played tonight.”

WHAT BELLINGHAM SAID

<a href="https://www.abola.pt/futebol/noticias/bellingham-arrisca-castigo-apos-gesto-obsceno-para-banco-da-georgia-2024063022575306845 " target="_blank">A Bola</a> are, however, among those to report that Bellingham could now face sanction. UEFA rules dictate that any player making an “obscene gesture” or engaging in “offensive or insulting action” can be handed a ban. European football’s governing body will review the reports of the match referee and officials before taking any action.

DID YOU KNOW?

If Bellingham were to be handed a one-match ban, then he would be forced to sit out England’s last-eight showdown with Switzerland. That would <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/gareth-southgate-saved-winners-losers-jude-bellingham-england-euro-2024-slovakia/bltb92b0f396dabd039" target="_blank">represent a huge blow to Gareth Southgate’s plans</a>, but the 2024 Ballon d’Or contender – who was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jude-bellingham-banned-real-madrid-superstar-hit-two-match-suspension-after-red-card-controversial-valencia-clash/blt3081579faae440f3" target="_blank">suspended at Real Madrid last season after displaying “contemptuous or disrespectful attitude towards a referee”</a> – appears confident that he has done nothing wrong. The FA share that belief, with Bellingham expected to escape punishment alongside <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/what-declan-rice-screamed-slovakia-boss-francesco-calzona-x-rated-rant-ugly-altercation-england-s-last-16-victory/blt94506763a74fe351" target="_blank">Declan Rice - who clashed with Slovakia coaching staff </a>at the final whistle.
