It’s thought to have something to do with Bellingham’s hand motioning at his crotch after he scored an overhead kick with 80 seconds still to spare to salvage England’s chances.
England won 2-1 because to a goal from Harry Kane in extra time. This meant that Bellingham would play Switzerland in the quarterfinals, which he might not be able to attend if UEFA punishes him.
Gary Lineker, a former England striker and current pundit, called UEFA the “celebration police” on X and called the inquiry “ridiculous”.
“For crying out loud, the Euro 2024 celebration police are,” the author stated.
UEFA said in a statement that an inquiry “regarding a potential violation of the basic rules of decent conduct” will be conducted by a “ethics and disciplinary inspector”.
The regulatory body stated, “Information on this subject will be made available in due course.
In the hours following the game, the Real Madrid player posted on X about the gesture, calling it a “inside joke.”
A subtle jab at a few close pals who happened to be at the game,” he remarked. Only admiration for the Slovakian team’s performance tonight.
