Former Liverpool and Germany midfielder Didi Hamann has criticised the performances of England's Jude Bellingham at Euro 2024.
Despite scoring crucial goals against Serbia and more recently Slovakia, Bellingham has not turned in a brilliant 90-minute performance at the tournament so far.
There are also fears that the Real Madrid man could be fined or suspended for his goal celebration in the direction of the Slovakian bench last week.
And speaking to Gambling Zone, Hamann said the England star has been underperforming since March.
"When you look at the players, Bellingham for example, he is a huge talent, but the fact of the matter is that since the Champions League quarterfinal he hasn't performed," said Hamann.
"He hasn’t been seen in the Champions League when it really matters.
"Maybe it shouldn't come as such a surprise that Bellingham isn’t performing that well at this tournament.
"Bellingham wasn't the reason that Real Madrid won the Champions League. He played his part in the early rounds, but they won it because of Lunin, because of Vini Junior, and because of Toni Kroos.
"Sometimes the English tend to hype their players up, which is fair enough, but it doesn't always match the reality."
Bellingham will have a chance to prove his critics wrong when England faces Switzerland in the quarter-finals this Saturday.
