Bittersweet ending for Bellerin

It was a bittersweet tournament for Arsenal’s Bellerin, who announced before the competition that he would donate £50 to the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire for every minute he played.

Bellerin, 22, played 360 minutes, so he raised £18,000 in a tremendous effort.

Bellerin is trolled for what he did with runners-up medal

It was impossible not to spot what happened when Spain’s players received their runners-up medals.

When Kepa Arrizabalaga, Niguez and Sandro Ramirez, who were ahead of Bellerin in the queue, had medals placed around their necks, they immediately took them off.

So too did Ceballos and Inaki Williams, who followed the right-back.

But Bellerin decided to keep his on - and he was immediately trolled for doing so.

Besides the typical jokes about Arsenal's lack of medals in recent years, some even suggested it showed a loser's mentality.

Kuntz: 'We had a plan and we executed it'

After the contest, Germany coach Stefan Kuntz revealed that he told his players before the tournament to ensure they would be remembered for winning the tournament.

“We had a plan and we executed it really well. My team is not easy to play against,” he said, per The Guardian.

“Before the tournament, I told my players if you win something like this, everybody will remember you. The penalty shootout against England was watched by close to 10 million people in Germany so my players have made an outstanding reputation for themselves.”
