England’s dramatic 2-1 victory over Slovakia at Euro 2024 has now become infamous not just for Harry Kane’s extra-time winner, but for the eyebrow-raising moment that followed Bellingham’s stunning overhead kick.

Gary Lineker has already denounced the investigation as “ridiculous,” branding UEFA the “celebration police” on social media. However, the plot thickened when the UEFA ethics and disciplinary inspector delved into the true inspiration behind Bellingham’s actions.

Abreast of the facts

Footage circulating on social media hinted at Bellingham’s alleged breach of “basic rules of decent conduct,” being caused by an eye-catching member of the crowd. Investigators have since confirmed that the sight of a beautiful young female fan. Who had painted the Spanish flag over her bare breasts in honour of the young Real Madrid player, was the catalyst for the Real Madrid star’s sexual gesture.

Jude Bellingham in shock

Witnesses reported the fan, dubbed “La Chica del Pecho Pintado” (“The Girl with the Painted Chest”) by the press. Caught Bellingham’s eye just before his celebratory gesture.

Her enthusiastic display of support evidently struck a chord with the midfielder. Leading him to make what he described as an “inside joke” gesture aimed at close friends present at the match. Hmmmm.

Lineker’s ridicule of UEFA’s probe has resonated with fans and pundits alike. “For crying out loud, it’s football, not a monastery,” he quipped. As the saga of Bellingham and “La Chica del Pecho Pintado” continues to unfold. Adding a taste of salsa to England’s Euro 2024 campaign.
