New video shows possible reason behind Jude Bellingham slapping Valentín Barco

Valentín Barco might have been having too much fun. For anyone wondering why Jude Bellingham slapped Barco on Wednesday after England’s loss to Argentina, there’s now a possible answer. After Enzo Fernández’s equalizer in the 85th minute, several Argentina players ran around the pitch and celebrated the goal. While Barco, who did not play in the match, was part of the celebration, he then decided to make a beeline for England’s players, running straight into their path before jumping and cheering in front of them, replays of the game showed. Me encontré este video del atrevido del colo Barco festejándole el empate a los ingleses en la cara. El correctivo de Bellingham se entiende pero no le quita lo cagón de pegar de atrás. pic.twitter.com/IJag9IFWl9— GONZA (@ChePanzaverde) July 16, 2026 I
