And it was a real avenue of joy for them in the first half.

They were getting a lot of joy playing that way.

But you can understand the nerves in the first half early on in the game.

What did you think of Jude Bellingham tonight?

I thought he showed the exact reason that Thomas Tuchel chose to start him, in all honesty.

And I think, you know, the way that he's handled him this season, I think he's had to make him a team player.

And I think when you listen to the post-match interviews from both the manager and from Bellingham, there was a lot of references to not being an individual, you know, to being a team player, to being part of a group.

And I think with hindsight, looking back this season, that's how he's handled him.

I think he's left him out of squads, he's dropped him from starting XI's and he's made him realise that there are other players that can function in that team and he's not the main star attraction.

And I think when you've got a Jude Bellingham with his attitude, his application and he's playing to that level, the way that Thomas Tuchel's managed him this year, this season, if you like, you can see he's reaping his rewards with that type of performance because he's a big game player, he's a big moments player.

and the goal that he scored.

Let's not take away from Nani Madaweki as well from the goal that Jude Bellingham scored.

It was a fantastic ball through from Elliot Anderson, but actually Madaweki realised that Bellingham had run into his space and then he ran off into the 18-yard box and took two of the Croatian defenders with him that allowed Bellingham the space to then go on and get that goal.

He still had a lot to do, but it was a really good team goal.

And I think that's the emphasis that England are

Thomas Tuchel, Nani Madoweke and Jude Bellingham.

None of them were getting too high.

They're all pleased saying there's work to be done.

But one big emphasis, one key word that kept coming out of it was the group, the team.
