Jude Bellingham reached 50 caps for England at the age of 22 years and 359 days during a 0-0 draw against Ghana. The midfielder was substituted after 72 minutes and still received the Man of the Match award. Bellingham said he did not deserve the individual honor.
"I didn't deserve it, to be honest. It should have gone to one of their lads who defended so well," he told reporters in the mixed zone. He added that Ghana had played for the draw that would secure their own progression.
England leads Group L with four points and a plus-two goal difference. A draw against already-eliminated Panama in the final group match would guarantee qualification for the team. Bellingham also commented on Real Madrid's new coach.
"Mourinho is a top coach, I'm very happy," he said.
