Borussia Dortmund failed to convert their persistence in attack to goals last night as they crashed out of the Champions League, and in doing so failed to qualify for the quarter-finals for the third successive year. Fresh footage following the defeat to Chelsea shows Jude Bellingham push both Marc Cucurella and a cameraman, shedding a damning light on the teenager who was visibly frustrated.
Chelsea prevailed on the night with a 2-0 victory to successfully overturn a one goal deficit from the first-leg in Dortmund, handing Graham Potter and his players another boost in confidence after a seemingly never-ending string of poor results.
Raheem Sterling opened the scoring, before a highly controversial penalty was awarded after Marius Wolf was adjudged to have handled the ball, despite standing just inches from Ben Chilwell’s attempted cross.
Kai Havertz first effort from the spot ricocheted off the post before the referee ordered it to be retaken, after VAR caught Salih Özcan, who cleared the ball after, encroaching on the ‘D’.
Havertz then calmly dispatched his penalty by opting for the same corner, much to the annoyance of Jude Bellingham who gave a scathing post-match interview.
The 19-year-old said upon watching it back: “It’s a yard or two away, I’m not too sure.
“I don’t want to get in trouble, I’ve paid enough to them lot.
“But yeah, I think that in itself was disappointing and the fact they’ve had a retake, it’s a joke. I think for every penalty, especially when you have such a slow run-up, there are going to be people encroaching into the box by a yard or so. But that’s the game, I suppose, he’s made a decision and we’ve had to live with it.”
New footage has also emerged following the full-time whistle, which shows Jude Bellingham push Chelsea’s Marc Cucrella after becoming embroiled in a heated exchange, before throwing a bottle on the pitch in frustration and nudging a cameraman out of the way.
