Real Madrid’s Champions League Victory Down to Four Players, Claims Didi Hamann
Former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann has sparked controversy by claiming that Real Madrid’s UEFA Champions League title last season was a result of the efforts of four players: Andriy Lunin, Toni Kroos, Vinicius Junior, and Rodrygo, rather than England midfielder Jude Bellingham.
Hamann, speaking to TopOffshoreSportsBooks, expressed his disapproval of Bellingham’s attitude on the pitch, citing specific comments made by the player. "Jude Bellingham, at the moment, is going down the wrong route," Hamann said. "If you look at some of the comments he has made, including about the referee in Germany when he got away with a fine when he should have been banned. Then he scores the last-minute goal against Slovakia [at Euro 2024] and he stands there saying: ‘Who else?’"
Hamann also questioned Bellingham’s impact on the pitch, stating that he was "nowhere to be seen" in the quarter-final, semi-final, and final of the Champions League. "He had a good first half of the season at Real Madrid, but in the crucial matches, he didn’t make a significant contribution," Hamann added.
In contrast, Hamann praised the performances of Lunin, Kroos, Junior, and Rodrygo, highlighting their crucial roles in Real Madrid’s Champions League victory. "They won the Champions League because of these four players – not because of Bellingham," Hamann emphasized.
The debate surrounding Bellingham’s performance and attitude is likely to continue, with fans and pundits weighing in on the former Liverpool midfielder’s claims. Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s Champions League triumph will be remembered as a testament to the collective effort of their squad, with these four players playing key roles in their success.
