England midfielder Jude Bellingham has once again claimed the Man of the Match award, marking his second consecutive win at the World Cup. The Real Madrid star was instrumental in England's victory over Panama, scoring the opening goal himself before assisting Harry Kane for his record-breaking strike. This triumph secured England's top spot in Group L.
“The first objective is complete. We came here to take things one step at a time. We navigated the preliminary matches well and achieved our initial goal – progressing from the group and winning it.”
“We know our level and what we aim to achieve, and we demonstrated that in the second half. Every day we must strive to improve, and it's up to us to make that happen,” Bellingham stated, also commenting on Harry Kane's record.
“He continues to elevate his game, and it's incredible. He deserves all the accolades. You see the effort he puts in as captain and how he leads us. His quality speaks for itself; he's the best.”
