As Borussia Dortmund’s 2022/23 Bundesliga season came to a heartbreaking end, with the 2-2 comeback draw with Mainz not enough to stop Bayern Munich snatching the title courtesy of a late win over Koln, Jude Bellingham was forced to watch on from the sidelines.
The long-standing Liverpool target has been the undisputed star player in Germany this season, and Dortmund’s star player. However, after a knee injury ruled him out of last weekend’s 3-0 win over FC Augsburg, which had sent BVB top of the table, he was only fit enough for unused substitute duty as their campaign came to a disappointing end.
Bellingham might have played his last game for Dortmund, with the England international expected to move on this summer. Despite interest from the Reds, Liverpool were forced to withdraw from the race to sign Bellingham last month with the 19-year-old now looks set to join Real Madrid.
