Jude Bellingham has been making waves in the 2024 European Championship with his impressive performances, including scoring crucial goals for England. However, pundit Stuart Pearce believes that Phil Foden, another Manchester City player in Gareth Southgate’s squad, has outperformed Bellingham in the tournament. Despite Bellingham’s goal-scoring contributions, Foden has been praised for his overall performances on the field.
Pearce noted that while Bellingham has scored important goals for England, Foden has had more shots on goal and created more scoring opportunities. Even though Foden has been playing in a left-wing role, Pearce believes he has been outperforming Bellingham in a position he’s not completely suited for.
