After failing to reach the final, England midfielder Bellingham gave an interview in which he discussed his conflict with Messi.

Everyone saw the scene of you arguing with Messi.

Bellingham: "We're talking about a foul, which is fine. But I'm sure the media is going to make a big deal out of it, which really isn't a big deal. I think there was a time before when he retorted to me after a foul, 'What about the time I got fouled?' I said, 'You're strong enough to take it,' you know what I mean. We lost, which is painful, but it's an honor to play against one of the best players."
