Declan Rice spoke about Jude Bellingham’s goal during his post-match interview.
Declan Rice had a priceless reaction to Jude Bellingham’s outrageous goal for England against Slovakia at Euro 2024.
Bellingham rescued England as he scored a dramatic equaliser in their last-16 tie on Sunday.
He produced a moment of magic as he levelled proceedings in the 95th minute before Harry Kane headed home England’s winner in extra-time.
The Real Madrid superstar wheeled away in celebration as fans spotted what he said, and it sums up his elite mentality.
After the match, Rice spoke about his teammate’s stunning goal as he joked that he would’ve broken his back if he had tried a bicycle kick.
“If I tried that Jude goal I’d have broken my back. Fair play to him, special moment,” said the Arsenal midfielder, revealing that he told Bellingham to stay in the box.

In another interview, Rice said the England players would ‘do anything to protect’ Gareth Southgate, who has come under fire this tournament.
“We’ve got a togetherness, we proved that tonight. We’d do anything to protect this manager, protect each other,” he added.
“We’ll keep going and keep fighting and what we’ve got as a group tonight showed out there. It’s an honour to be a part of it and we’re going to give it everything.”
Rice has played in all of England’s games at Euro 2024 and is set to keep his place in midfield when the Three Lions resume their campaign next Saturday.
They face Switzerland in Dusseldorf for a spot in the semi-finals.
