In Birmingham, an extraordinary tribute has been unveiled to honor Jude Bellingham's iconic last-minute goal against Slovakia at Euro 2024—a statue made entirely of food. This creative homage celebrates the 90+5-minute equalizer Bellingham scored, which saved England from elimination and kept their Euro campaign alive. Harry Kane's contributions in extra time helped the team secure victory, though they ultimately lost to Spain in the final, establishing themselves as Europe's second-strongest team.

At just 21 years old, Bellingham is already a footballing legend in England and particularly in his hometown of Birmingham, where he began his career with Birmingham City. The city has now embraced this unique tribute, showcasing his growing iconic status.

Inspired by a OnePoll survey in the UK that revealed people often associate joy with food, Pret-A-Manger, a local food chain, decided to celebrate Bellingham’s spectacular moment using their festive menu items. The statue, crafted from gingerbread, mince pies, and other seasonal treats, captures the dramatic bicycle kick that secured the equalizing goal. The tribute symbolizes not only Bellingham’s footballing brilliance but also the joy and national pride his performance brought to England during Euro 2024.
