Bellingham row at BVB: fresh details emerge | OneFootball

After the 3:3 draw against FC St. Pauli, an unusual incident occurred: Jobe Bellingham's parents gained access to the Dortmund locker rooms. New details about the Bellingham incident have now been uncovered.

During the Bundesliga match between Borussia Dortmund and FC St. Pauli, an unusual incident occurred that has now gained further attention: The parents of newcomer Jobe Bellingham, Mark and Denise Bellingham, gained access to the locker rooms of the Millerntor Stadium. The reason was apparently their son's early substitution and the overall disappointing performance of the team in the 3:3 draw.

The incident caused internal discontent. According to a new report by Sport Bild, BVB sporting director Sebastian Kehl called Bellingham senior on Sunday and made it "unmistakably" clear that family members have no place in the locker rooms. Mark Bellingham reportedly showed understanding and promised to refrain from such visits in the future. Kehl also publicly emphasized: "This will not happen again. We have clearly informed all parties involved."

BVB Downplays Bellingham Incident

Some players were also surprised by the presence of the parents and the emotional language used by Mark Bellingham. He had already expressed his criticism of the team's performance in the stadium lounge. Sport Bild writes that the incident in Hamburg may have led to tensions between the Bellinghams and the Dortmund management.

BVB tried to downplay the incident publicly. Sporting director Lars Ricken described the meeting as a "more emotional conversation" and emphasized that the good relations with the family allowed for this without any problems. TV expert Lothar Matthäus showed understanding for the parents' behavior but advised that criticism should be made behind closed doors.

For Borussia Dortmund, the next opportunity to forget the incident comes on Sunday with the home game against Union Berlin. The focus is now on achieving the first victory in the Bundesliga to avoid a false start to the new season.
