BELLINGHAM SPEAKING ON THE CLASH BETWEEN HIM AND THE ARGENTINA PLAYER AFTER THE FINAL WHISTLE
“Valentín Barco came onto the pitch at the end with his teammates.”
“He saw me, walked over and said something in Spanish, forgetting I understand the language.”
“I went straight up to him and gave him a tap on the head. I wasn’t about to stand there and let a kid disrespect me to my face.”
And mind you, none of them were crying over a man, they were crying because they wanted the freedom to live their lives the way they chose, and I think that’s what makes their stories even more beautiful.
