Emotional Jude Bellingham SHOOTS TV camera after Borussia Dortmund missed out on the Bundesliga title following their 2-2 draw with Mainz in what will likely be the 19-year-old’s last game for the club amid ties with Real Madrid
Jude Bellingham was visibly moved as he pushed away a TV camera after Borussia Dortmund missed out on the Bundesliga title.
Edin Terzic’s side started the day with a two-point lead over Bayern Munich, but were only able to draw 2-2 with Mainz on Saturday.
They did start to fight back slightly after being 2–0 down within 25 minutes, but Niklas Sule’s 96th-minute equalizer came too late for the hosts to snatch what would have been a title winner.
After taking an early lead in their match against Köln, Bayern had to sweat when Dejan Ljubicic equalized from the penalty spot with 10 minutes remaining.
Jamal Musiala put the visitors ahead again in the 89th minute to confirm victory and another Bundesliga title for the Bavarian side.

Despite starting the day two points behind Dortmund, Bayern won the Bundesliga by beating Köln 2-1
The top two both finished with 71 points, but Thomas Tuchel’s men had a much better goal difference.
Bellingham appeared moved after the final whistle, holding his shirt to his face before pushing away an approaching TV camera.
The 19-year-old’s third season in Germany was his most successful to date, with the England star scoring 14 goals in 42 appearances in all competitions.
He may now have played his last game for Dortmund after being heavily linked with Real Madrid.

Edin Terzic’s team has not won a Bundesliga victory for eleven years now
Recent reports have suggested the move could be announced next week, with Bellingham expected to cost the Spanish giants £100m.
Dortmund insist they have not received proposals for the midfielder, but Marka claim a deal has been agreed in principle and Real waited until the German title race was over before making an announcement.
Bayern’s victory on Saturday means they have now won 11 Bundesliga titles in a row, and a record 33 in total.
Edin Terzic’s wait for a title continues, with Dortmund’s last success coming in 2012.
