Jobe Bellingham delights BVB fans: A goal and a new hit!

On June 22, 2025, young Jobe Bellingham will celebrate a promising debut for Borussia Dortmund (BVB). The 19-year-old, who has only been at the club for two weeks, has already become a crowd favorite. BVB fans in the US have created a new hit called “Hey Jobe” to the tune of “Hey Jude” to celebrate. The song pays tribute not only to Jobe, but also to his older brother Jude Bellingham, a former BVB player.

In his first game in the starting lineup, Jobe Bellingham leads the team against Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa after replacing Karim Adeyemi, who played the opening game against Fluminense (0-0). The game ends with a narrow 4-3 win for Dortmund, with Bellingham scoring the decisive 3-1 in the 45th minute and thus securing the “Player of the Match” title. He is also proud on Instagram, where he publishes his best scenes from the game.

Coach notes and team development

Coach Niko Kovac praises Bellingham's fitness and presence, but admits that his positional play still needs improvement. Despite a temporary 4-1 lead, the team had to tremble until the last minute, which indicates a few defensive mistakes. Felix Nmecha is positive about working with the young player, indicating Bellingham's significant role in the team.

Bellingham was signed from AFC Sunderland for over €30.5 million earlier this month. The pressure on the team is high; After the mixed start against Fluminense, the next group game against Ulsan HD is already around the corner, which is again scheduled for Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. CEST and will also be broadcast on DAZN and Sat.1.

Overall, Jobe Bellingham shows that he has the potential to quickly become a decisive factor in BVB's game, even if Kovac emphasizes that a lot of development is still needed. Fans and coaches can look forward to the upcoming games and the further development of the talent in Dortmund.
