"In terms of big moments, Jude Bellingham - Real Madrid, Champions League winner - when England were down in other tournaments, he's been the guy," Richard said. "He's had the personality to step up in big moments… We've got a genuine superstar… it shouldn't even be a debate. He's the best player. He has to start." His view was seconded by Gary Lineker, who noted that to win major honours, a team needs a player capable of making a "massive difference."
