Heartbroken Bellingham shoves camera out of his face after taking role of waterboy as Dortmund let Bundesliga title slip

DEVASTATED Jude Bellingham shoved a camera out of the way as Borussia Dortmund suffered last-gasp title agony.

Bayern Munich made it 11 Bundesliga crowns in a row on goal difference after Dortmund were held 2-2 at home by Mainz.

And Bellingham – reduced to the role of water carrier as a non-playing sub after battling a knee injury – had pain etched all over his face as he moved the camera aside.

The England midfielder – a dream target for Real Madrid and Premier League giants – wiped his face with his shirt as he walked off.

And as the camera operator homed in to follow his movement, Bellingham shook his head as if pleading for a private moment and put out his arm to block the view.

Many observers were sympathetic to the 19-year-old for wearing his heart on his sleeve.

And a few pleaded with him to stay with the German giants.

One wrote: “Best decision is for him to stay one more year, that Dortmund team is really good, just work on defence.”

But one or two trolls reckon Bellingham is already thinking of his next destination.

Dortmund had begun the day two points clear of Bayern.

But they were soon 2-0 down – while Thomas Tuchel’s men went top by leading 1-0 at Cologne.

Dejan Ljubicic’s late penalty equaliser for Cologne meant Dortmund briefly returned to the summit.

But Jamal Musiala clinched a 2-1 victory for Bayern in the 89th minute.

That left Dortmund needing two goals in a frantic finale against Mainz.

Niklas Sule did level six minutes into stoppage time – but there was no time for the winner required.

And as Bellingham went on the pitch to thank fans afterwards, his forlorn wave was interpreted by some as a sign of his imminent parting.
