Jude Bellingham said he felt like Cristiano Ronaldo when he scored the overhead kick which kept England in\u00a0Euro 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n
The Three Lions were on the brink of elimination in the last 16 after falling 1-0 behind to Slovakia and looked uninspired in attack before the Real Madrid icon leapt to\u00a0acrobatically divert Marc Guehi\u2019s flicked header into the back of the net.<\/p>\n
Harry Kane completed the comeback at the start of extra-time but it was Bellingham\u2019s moment of genius that has captured the nation\u2019s attention and kept hopes of a first ever men\u2019s European Championship triumph alive.<\/p>\n
Former\u00a0Los Blancos\u00a0star Ronaldo netted a similar overhead kick against Juventus back in 2018 and Bellingham revealed he saw similarities between the two goals.<\/p>\n
He told England\u2019s\u00a0EURO 2024 Diary Room<\/em>: \u201cIt was really instinct more than anything. It kind of fell in the perfect spot and it was a little bit behind me.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I was in the air I thought, \u2018I\u2019m six feet off the ground and it\u2019s like Ronaldo!\u2019 But I\u2019ve watched it back and I still had one hand on the ground, so it wasn\u2019t the most acrobatic.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it was a nice contact. Definitely one of the most important and memorable moments of my career so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
Despite the dramatic victory,\u00a0England\u00a0again copped criticism from fans and pundits for another spluttering display and will need to make significant improvements if they are to beat Switzerland in the quarter-finals on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Bellingham\u00a0added: \u201cNot the most enjoyable way to win a game. Obviously you always want to feel like you are in control and comfortable.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you have to find ways to win, even if it means overhead kicks in 90+5. But the difference in emotion is so huge. It\u2019s one minute [from] being dead and buried.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw the Slovakian bench and they were all ready to run on. In one moment everything changes.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we never stopped believing we would get one more chance and luckily we got it in.\u201d<\/p>\n
