Jude Bellingham drew criticism after appearing to sulk when substituted during England's World Cup qualifying win over Albania. Thomas Tuchel, who earlier apologised to Bellingham for calling his behaviour "repulsive", said he would investigate the substitution incident. Some observers link the intensity and tone of criticism to race, arguing that Bellingham's confidence and personality unsettle certain commentators.

He scored 23 goals and provided 13 assists while helping Real Madrid win La Liga and the Champions League.
