The Three Lions were down 1-0 in their match with Slovakia before Jude Bellingham equalised for the team in the 95th minute.
A UEFA spokesperson said: “Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector will conduct a disciplinary investigation regarding a potential violation of the basic rules of decent conduct by the English FA player, Jude Bellingham, having allegedly occurred in the scope of this match.”
During the game, Bellingham seemed to gesture in the direction of the crowd, before mouthing “who else” in reference to himself.
The Real Madrid star may be banned if found guilty, as FIFA rules state: “Anyone who insults someone in any way, especially by using offensive gestures or language, or who violates the principles of fair pay or whose behaviour is unsporting in any other way may be subject to sanctions in accordance with art. 10 ff.”
Bellingham wrote on social media post-game: “An inside joke gesture towards some close friends who were at the game. Nothing but respect for how that Slovakia team played tonight.”
Real Madrid are finalising a deal for Bayern Munich wing-back Alphonso Davies. This is according to Okdiario’s chief pundit Eduardo Inda, when speaking onEl Chiringuito.
He now has less than a year left on his Bayern deal.
Inda said: “Alphonso Davies is an imminent signing of Real Madrid. He has been looking for a Madrid house for days, in La Moraleja or in La Finca.
“Real Madrid is in the process of selling Fran García.
“The question I have is (Ferland) Mendy. Next year Alphonso Davies would go free and Real Madrid wants the player now and Bayern are at the last chance to make a fee. It will be a symbolic figure. It will be less than 50 or 60 million (euros).”
Klay Thompson has accepted a three-year $50 million contract with the Dallas Mavericks, ending his epic 13-year run with the Golden State Warriors. Sources told ESPN this on Monday.
Thompson’s contract was significantly influenced by the chance to compete for a fifth title with the Western Conference champions Mavericks.
Greg Lawrence of Wasserman (Thompson’s agent) negotiated the deal, it required a multiteam sign-and-trade that sends Dallas guard/forward Josh Green to the Charlotte Hornets and two second-round picks to the Warriors.
The Mavericks will send their 2031 second-round pick in the deal including the least favourable of the 76ers or Nuggets’ second-round pick in 2025, a source said.
Lawrence and Thompson met Mavericks General Manager Nico Harrison and VP Michael Finley at the Bottle Inn in Hermosa Beach, California, to delve into the details of a Thompson-Mavericks partnership.
The Los Angeles Lakers were enticing to Thompson, but how much money he would save from living in Texas over California and the fact the Dallas Mavericks were three wins away from an NBA championship were major factors in his decision.
In the last season of Klay’s noteworthy 13-year run with the Warriors, his relationship with the franchise became strained due to contract discussions and his impending free agency. His departure became more apparent as the season progressed.
His sadness grew as his role with the Warriors changed throughout the campaign; highlighted by him being removed from the closing lineup in early February and moving to a bench role later that month.
Thompson, 32 averaged 17.9 points last season, his lowest since 2012-13.
Klay’s tenure with the Golden State earns his place in the franchise and NBA history solidified. Curry, Thomposon, and Draymond Green contributed 518 victories in the regular season and playoffs, sixth most by a trio all time. Their 98th playoff victory together is third in NBA history and their four titles are tied with Manu Ginobili, Tim Duncan, and Tony Parker for the most by an All-NBA trio over the last 50 seasons.
The Warriors wished Thompson well in a statement released on Monday, saying they look forward to retiring his No. 11 jersey.
“The amount of joy and happiness that Klay provided Warriors fans, Bay Area natives and Dub Nation supporters all around the world has been immense and cannot be minimised,” the statement read. “His penchant for delivering in pressurised situations on the biggest stage, including many Game 6 heroics, has helped define a career.
“Klay’s legacy will live on forever and we look forward to the day we can retire his #11 jersey at Chase Center where he will join a host of Warriors immortals, including those who helped shape this recent dynasty — himself included.
“We thank Klay for his contributions and wish him the best as another chapter in his journey is written.”
Newcastle star Kieran Trippier sparked concerns last week after his wife uploaded a cryptic post on social media. Trippier has been actively involved in the Three Lions’ Euro 2024 appearance so far.
The defender who is a right-back, has been substituting at left-back due to injuries.
Trippier’s wife Charlotte posted on Instagram: “Sooner or later you get over the s*** you swore you’d never get over and it’s the best feeling in the world.”
She then followed that post with the words: “The sun is shining. Happy Monday angels.”
There are speculations that Trippier may have lost his wife as a follower on social media.

Euro 2024 Top Goalscorer Predictions
This year’s European Football Championship features numerous players who are ready to lead their nation’s to glory. However, only one of those players can be awarded the Golden boot. For fans who want to follow the match as it unfolds, you can find our Euro 2024 Match Previews on MatchPlug.
On that note, here our Euro 2024 top goalscorer predictions below:
1. Kylian Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe has been the favourite since the start of the Euro 2024 competition to win the Golden Boot for this contest. The French forward stole the show in the World Cup final 18 months ago, and has been opportune to work with plenty of talents around him such as Antoine Griezmann and Olivier Giroud.
Mbappe’s chances at winning the top goalscorer took a hit when he broke his nose, but he is favourite again. The French man opened his goal scoring for the Euros by scoring in the 1-1 draw with Poland during the group stage.
With a move to Real Madrid lurking in the next football season, Mbappe focuses on the Euros champion and the race for a coveted title.
2. Jamal Musiala
German forward, Jamal Musiala is another player whose name is being mentioned for Euro 2024 top goalscorer predictions. Musiala is the biggest threat so far in Germany’s football team. The 21-year old has scored three goals so far in the contest and played a key role in his team topping Group A.
Although he grew up in England, Musiala is representing Germany where he was born. He is recognized globally as one of the best young talents in Europe. Many experts expect Germany to win this contest, and Musiala is a shoo in for Golden Boot if this happens.
3. Harry Kane
Harry Kane has been searching for his first major trophy, since joining Bayern Munich last summer. After scoring 36 goals as the top scorer in the Bundesliga, the Three Lions’ captain is seen as a top favourite to win the Golden Boot this season.
Kane scored in the English team’s pre-Euro friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina showing a promising form before the tournament kicked off. He also scored in Slovakia VS England at the 91st minute, and has 2 goals to his name so far.
4. Alvaro Morata
Alvaro Morata is the captain and veteran goalscorer who leads the Spanish team. At the start of the tournament, Morata was deployed as the target man up front for Luis de la Fuente’s squad and it has been working well for them.
Morata is another name that has been mentioned repeatedly in articles for Euro 2024 top goalscorer predictions. He scored the opener in the team’s 3-0 beating of Croatia, which lead to their opponent’s elimination.
Although Morata has scored just once, Spain continues to go far in this competition, and their captain is expected to get more opportunities for scoring.
5. Cristiano Ronaldo
Portuguese captain Cristiano Ronaldo, won the Golden Boot during the Euro 2020 and scored 10 goals in that tournament’s qualifying round. Although Ronaldo stepped away from FIFA matches to continue his career at Saudi Arabia, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is no stranger to winning trophies at a major football contest.
But, in a disappointing turn of events, Ronaldo ended the group stage with no goals. However, he scored his first goal of the tournament with a goal against Slovenia in their knockout stage fixture.
6. Jude Bellingham
Jude Bellingham was excellent for Real Madrid last football season. Most fans expected him to barely scale through at La Liga, he disappointed the naysayers by scoring 23 goals as of the middle of May 2023.
In this tournament, Bellingham seems to have gotten a smaller role for England, than he got for Real Madrid where he is a top dog. He is picked as a favourite in Euro 2024 top goalscorer predictions, but Harry Kane has more recognition than him as Golden Boot material.
Bellingham has the same number of goals as Harry Kane in the tournament, scoring a total of two goals. He and Kane scored the goals in a 2-1 scoreline against Slovakia in the knockout stages. Bellingham was named player of the match.
7. Antoine Griezmann
Antoine Griezmann has a solid history in the European Championship, finishing as top scorer in the 2016 Euros contest with six goals. But, after France lost to Portugal in the final, and an uneventful five years following that, Griezmann was set to redeem himself in Germany.
At the start of the Euro 2024 tournament, Antoine was selected as one of the favourites to win the Golden Boot award this year, but he has since then failed to live up to that prediction. Griezmann has 0 goals and 0 assists so far in the contest, and has to prove himself in French’s upcoming fixture with Portugal.
8. Olivier Giroud
At the beginning of the tournament, experts predicted that Oliver Giroud would be difficult to compete with for the Golden Boot award. But, 3 matches and 0 goals later Giroud is a no-show for his team and the experts who put their faith in the retiring veteran.
As his retirement from national team appearances draws close, Giroud can only hope to get a befitting send-off by winning the coveted Boot before he bows out of the contest forever. Although that might not be possible so late in the competition.
9. Bukayo Saka
Experts hailed star rookie Bukayo Saka as a trailblazer for Arsenal who would bring the same energy to playing national team matches, and have been severely disappointed by his performance so far. With 0 goals to show for his nation, Saka is no longer among the first 5 players to back in the Euro 2024 tournament.
Manager Gareth Southgate made an unusual choice to play Saka in the left-back position for their last match against Slovakia. While the Three Lions won that match, there was no evidence that Saka’s performance had improved in the contest.
10. Phil Foden
Phil Foden, like the other English players selected for the Golden Boot awards, has not lived up to expectations in this year’s tournament. The 24-year old has 37 caps for his nation, and started in all three of the group matches played by England at the tournament
Foden, who has 37 caps, has started all three of England’s group games at the tournament, including the draw with Slovenia. With England still in the contest, Foden has little chance to score more goals for his country.
