Dortmund players' controversial moment

Dortmund players could not stand the heat during the match against Mamelodi Sundowns at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ in the early morning of June 22.

Bellingham's younger brother scores first goal for Dortmund In the early morning of June 22, Jobe Bellingham scored in Dortmund's 4-3 victory over Mamelodi Sundowns.

In this match, a photo of Dortmund's substitutes watching the match from the dressing room instead of sitting on the bench caused a stir in public opinion. The reason was said to be due to the sweltering heat of up to 30.5 degrees Celsius in Cincinnati, Ohio, where the match took place.

Dortmund and the organizers have not commented on the above photo. In this confrontation, the Bundesliga club won 4-3 against Sundowns, in which Jobe Bellingham, Jude Bellingham's younger brother, contributed 1 goal.

Dortmund allow substitutes to sit in the dressing room.

The photo of Dortmund’s substitutes quickly became a topic of debate on social media. Many criticized Dortmund, calling it “weak,” “shameful,” and “unprofessional.” These comments raised questions about whether Europe’s top clubs were serious about the tournament or just viewed it as a friendly.

Earlier, midfielder Marcos Llorente also complained about the heat in the US. The Atletico Madrid star admitted that the harsh weather affected the team's performance in the 0-4 loss to PSG in Los Angeles. In this match, the temperature was recorded at 32 degrees Celsius.

While European teams are criticized, teams from South America and Africa see the tournament as a real battle. This is also the reason why the South American representatives have remained undefeated since the beginning of the tournament.

Dortmund won their first ever FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ and temporarily took the lead in the group with 4 points. The team played 1 more game than Ulsan Hyundai and Fluminense.
