Bodiac reported that although Dortmund beat Athletic Bilbao 4-1 in the Champions League, Bellingham's performance once again caused concern.

The 30.5 million euro midfielder won the starting opportunity for the first time in weeks, but performed poorly. He seemed to lack confidence on the court and made frequent mistakes, and was eventually replaced in the 69th minute.

Bellingham's parents Mark and Denise were abnormal when watching the game in the VIP stands. The two were far apart, with a friend sitting in the middle and having little communication during the game. This is in stark contrast to their image of always sitting intimately together in the past. The report pointed out that behind this abnormal move is the growing tension between the family and the club. Previously, after Dortmund draw with St. Pauli, Bellingham Jr.'s father Mark rushed into the inner area of ​​the court and expressed dissatisfaction with sports director Kyle about his son's replacement early.

The tension in the Bellingham family is putting 20-year-old Little Belling under tremendous pressure. Head coach Kovac defended Bellin Jr. after the game, admitting he made a mistake but more out of tension and affirming his enthusiasm. However, in the midfield competition, he is likely to fall behind Nmega and Sabitzer again.
