England fans have spotted Jude Bellingham's immediate reaction after losing Euro 2024 final to Spain

Fans have spotted what Jude Bellingham did immediately after England lost the Euro 2024 final to Spain.

On Sunday England suffered major tournament heartbreak once again by falling to a 2-1 defeat to Spain in the final of Euro 2024.

England had underwhelmed for much of the tournament in Germany, but managed to frustrate Spain in the opening 45 minutes.

The second half couldn't have started any worse though, with Nico Williams firing Spain ahead after being afforded acres of space by Kyle Walker.

As he did in the semi-final, Gareth Southgate turned to super-subs Cole Palmer and Ollie Watkins and was soon rewarded.

Chelsea star Palmer curled home from the edge of the box to draw England level, and for a while the Three Lions looked the more likely team to score a second.

But to the frustration of fans and pundits, England dropped off and came under increasing pressure. Eventually the sucker-punch came, Mikel Oyarzabal tapping home from close range in the 86th minute to crown Spain champions.

Debate will rage on for weeks about who was to blame for England's lacklustre performances; some blame Southgate's system and tactics, other point to the players.

What cannot be called into question though is the effort and heart of those on the pitch. England's stars were visibly distraught at full-time, and in the case of Jude Bellingham, that emotion turned into frustration.

Footage taken from the stands inside the Olympiastadion showed Bellingham walking over to the England dugout seconds after the full-time whistle and launching a vicious kick at a water bottle cooler.

The 21-year-old got rather used to winning things during his first season with Real Madrid, so it's understandable why he would be so frustrated and annoyed.

One fan on X summed it up: "He is a Real Madrid player losing a title. They don't know how to lose."

In fairness to Bellingham, after taking a few moments to gather his composure he returned to the field to congratulate his opponents and console his England teammates.

He appeared to speak with every single member of Southgate's squad, once again showing leadership qualities well beyond his years.
