When Jude Bellingham scored the winner against Serbia at Euro 2024 on Sunday night, the England midfielder performed a strange celebration with Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Before standing straight with his arms wide, as has become customary for the England star while at Real Madrid this season, Bellingham and Alexander-Arnold dropped to one knee and held their faces with their right hands.
Supporters were initially confused, though Bellingham later clarified the meaning behind it in a post-match press conference.

Talking to the BBC, Bellingham explained: “When we play Wolf, one of the staff makes that face when he doesn’t have a clue what’s going on, so that was kind of a little group celebration for the Wolf crew.”
By that, Bellingham is referring to the card game Werewolf, which was popular among the England team at the 2022 World Cup. A card game in which ‘villagers’ attempt to protect their homes by finding out which player is the werewolf. The game is effectively a tabletop version of BBC game show The Traitors or the popular online game Among Us.
If fans want to emulate Jude and Trent, they can! Stellar Factory Werewolf, the game adored by the England squad, is available for just £13 from Amazon. Not bad for something that clearly helps Bellingham and Co. stay entertaine while away for weeks and weeks with their national side.
