  • Jude Bellingham broke down in tears after Dortmund's final day collapse
  • BVB share the spoils with Mainz at Signal Iduna Park
  • Bayern Munich lifted their 11th successive Bundesliga title after beating Koln

Jude Bellingham shoved a camera out of the way as Borussia Dortmund suffered last-gasp title agony.

The 19-year-old was forced to sit out Dortmund's match against Mainz at the Westfalenstadion due to a knee injury.

The England international was never even given the opportunity to enter the game as Edin Terzic's team was held to a 2-2 draw in a chaotic contest, with Nicolas Sule grabbing a late equaliser.

Due of this, Bayern Munich needed to defeat Koln 2-1 in a thrilling match in order to win the Bundesliga championship.

Despite recent struggles, Thomas Tuchel's team won their 11th consecutive Bundesliga championship thanks to a late goal from Jamal Musiala, Mirror Sports reported.

However, Bellingham became the center of attention following Dortmund's title loss.

After the final whistle, the England international was inconsolable and broke down in tears. But as a TV camera approached him on the field, Bellingham made the quick decision to push it away.

According to the Sun, Bellingham's chance to win his first major league trophy came to a crashing halt, and he appeared to be saddened and distraught.

Dortmund knew a victory would secure their first league title since 2012, but Terzic's team struggled to get going and gave themselves a mountain to climb by giving up two goals in the first half.

Bellingham to join Madrid next week

Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham’s career is set for a remarkable leap in the next few days with Real Madrid almost certain to wrap up the deal for the England international next week.

Like the former Dortmund stars before him, the 19-year-old midfielder is set to leave BVB at the end of the season to join Europe’s most successful team this summer.

According to Goal, Bellingham is fully focused on helping Borussia Dortmund to the Bundesliga title for the first time in eleven years, after which he is most likely to finalise his deal to join Real Madrid.

Real Madrid to submit official bid

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Real Madrid are set to finalise a deal to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund after agreeing to submit an official bid for the England midfielder.

The Spanish giants are said to have already agreed to personal terms with the 19-year-old star, who is also wanted by English Premier League clubs Liverpool and Chelsea.

The proposal by Real Madrid is expected to include a fixed fee of €100 million, with a potential €20-€30 million included as add-ons for Bellingham.
