Jobe Bellingham, the 19-year-old English talent, is making waves at Borussia Dortmund, earning the nickname “Bellingham 2.0” as he follows his brother Jude’s path to stardom. With a brilliant debut goal and assist in his early games, Jobe has set social media ablaze, becoming a global talking point.
Jobe’s Dazzling Dortmund Debut
Jobe Bellingham, younger brother of Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham, joined Borussia Dortmund from Sunderland in the summer of 2025. His move to the Bundesliga was a big step, but Jobe has already proven he belongs. On June 21, 2025, he scored a stunning goal in his first start for Dortmund against Mamelodi Sundowns in the FIFA Club World Cup. With a smooth first touch, he blasted a shot from outside the box to secure a 3-1 lead, thrilling fans. Just days later, on June 25, he provided his first assist, showing his vision and calm under pressure. These moments have solidified his spot in Dortmund’s lineup and sparked comparisons to Jude’s early days at the club.
Why Jobe’s Start Is a Social Media Sensation
Jobe’s performances have taken over platforms like X, where fans and analysts can’t stop raving about his skill. Clips of his goal and assist have racked up millions of views, with one X user calling him “football’s next big star” and another coining “Bellingham 2.0” for his dynamic midfield play. His debut goal video is among the most shared football moments of 2025, fueling his viral rise. The Bellingham brothers’ story—two prodigies dominating European football—adds a compelling narrative, captivating fans worldwide, including in India, where Dortmund has a massive following.
From Sunderland to Dortmund’s Spotlight
Jobe’s path to Dortmund shows his grit. At Sunderland, he played 45 matches in the 2024-25 Championship season, scoring seven goals and adding two assists. His ability to control games as a box-to-box midfielder caught Dortmund’s attention, known for nurturing young stars. The €20 million transfer was a bold move, but Jobe has already delivered. In his substitute appearance against Bayern Munich on June 17, 2025, he completed 90% of his passes in just 30 minutes. His full debut against Mamelodi Sundowns and his assist soon after proved he’s ready for the big stage. Dortmund’s coach has praised his work ethic and game intelligence, saying he “plays like a seasoned pro.”
A Bump in the Road: Yellow Card Drama
Jobe’s dream start hit a minor snag when he picked up a yellow card against Monterrey on July 2, 2025. This booking could see him miss a potential FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final against Real Madrid, where he might have faced his brother Jude. The possibility of a Bellingham brothers’ showdown has fans buzzing, but Jobe’s discipline will be key to avoiding suspensions.
Why Indian Fans Are Hooked
Indian football fans are obsessed with Jobe’s rise, drawn to Dortmund’s exciting style and youth-driven approach. With Bundesliga matches widely available on platforms like FanCode and SonyLIV, Dortmund enjoys a huge Indian fanbase. Jobe’s story of talent and determination resonates deeply, and his viral moments are dominating Indian football discussions on X and Instagram, with hashtags like #JobeBellingham and #Dortmund trending.
What’s Next for Jobe?
As Dortmund gears up for more FIFA Club World Cup matches and the Bundesliga season, Jobe remains in the spotlight. Can he keep up his red-hot form and cement the “Bellingham 2.0” title? Will he get to face Jude in a high-stakes match? Jobe is no longer just Jude’s brother—he’s building his own legacy, and the football world is watching closely.
