[Saba Sports News] A local food shop in England has unveiled a new product in celebration of the upcoming Christmas season, replicating England star Jude Bellingham’s bicycle kick during the Euro 2024 match against Slovakia. This statue is entirely made of food, sourced from local traditional Christmas recipes, including meat pies and gingerbread. He not only helped the struggling team equalize but also laid the foundation for England’s 2-1 comeback victory in extra time to advance to the quarter-finals. This bicycle kick became the latest goal scored by England in normal time during the European Championship, and Bellingham became the youngest player in England’s history to score in the knockout stages of the tournament. The shop created this edible statue to commemorate this great moment, using design inspiration from local Christmas recipes, showcasing the unique charm of local culture, and combining the glory of a football star with traditional local cuisine, highlighting Bellingham’s football talent while adding a new highlight to Birmingham’s food culture.
