This morning, Dortmund defeated Mexican club Monterrey 2-1 to secure the last ticket to the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. According to the bracket, their next opponent is Real Madrid. This should be an exciting match, when the most famous pair of brothers in football today - Jobe Bellingham and Jude Bellingham have the opportunity to compete with each other.

However, the unfortunate thing happened when his younger brother Jobe Bellingham was suspended because he received 2 yellow cards since the beginning of the tournament. Notably, both of Jobe's yellow cards came in the 28th minute and came in Dortmund's last 2 consecutive matches, against Ulsan Hyundai and Monterrey.

Jobe Bellingham was extremely disappointed after learning that he was suspended for a yellow card against Monterrey, when the opportunity to face his brother Jude Bellingham was right in front of him. According to the general opinion of the fans, this was also a rather unfortunate yellow card for Jobe Bellingham, because it came when Dortmund were leading Monterrey 2-0. However, the fierce and brave play is one of the highlights of the Bellingham brothers, and many people think that Jobe did nothing wrong in trying to foul and prevent danger for his team.

After the match, Dortmund coach Niko Kovac said: “Everyone saw that Jobe was very disappointed. I think he didn’t know that the second yellow card would mean a suspension for the next match. When he found out at half-time, he was quite surprised.”

“Jobe is still very young. His brother Jude is also young. I think they will have the chance to face each other soon, maybe in the Champions League next season. They have a lot of future ahead of them. It would be great to meet each other in the FIFA Club World Cup, but that has happened.”

Jobe Bellingham is following in Jude Bellingham's footsteps, albeit at a slower pace. Both came through the Birmingham City academy. Jude Bellingham moved to Dortmund in 2020 at the age of 17, where he shone before joining Real Madrid in 2023. Meanwhile, Jobe Bellingham spent two years in the Championship with Sunderland before joining Dortmund this summer, aged 19.
