Jude Bellingham Celebrates England’s Victory Over Serbia with Unique Goal Celebration
Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham has explained the unique goal celebration he shared with England team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold after scoring the winning goal against Serbia at Euro 2024 on Sunday.
Bellingham’s 13th-minute strike gave England the lead, and despite Serbia’s defensive pressure, the Three Lions held on for a crucial 1-0 victory. This result is a significant boost to England’s hopes of progressing to the knockout stages of Euro 2024, with one more win enough to secure their spot and potentially even top their group.
In his post-match interview with the BBC, Bellingham revealed the meaning behind the celebration, saying, “When we play Wolf, one of the staff makes that face when he doesn’t have a clue what’s going on, so that was kind of a little group celebration for the Wolf crew.”

The “Wolf crew” refers to the England team’s fondness for the card game Werewolf, which was popular among the players during the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The game is a tabletop version of the BBC game show The Traitors or the online game Among Us, where players must work out which of their teammates has been selected as the “werewolf” and try to eliminate them.
Bellingham’s explanation of the unique celebration has added another layer of intrigue to England’s journey at Euro 2024, as they continue their quest to secure a place in the knockout rounds.
