Adidas just released a short film directed by Johannes Leonardo that pays tribute to English football player Jude Bellingham for "overcoming the pressures of past disappointments."
To soundtrack the England national football team's bid for Euro 2024, the commercial features a specially mixed version of The Beatles' "Hey Jude."
Beginning with scenes of the team's past losses, the two-minute film evokes strong feelings from England's defeat in the 2020 finals and the country's longing for its first international tournament win in 58 years.

The song then begins to transition from a haunting rendition into a joyful chorus, as the spot shows old footage of Bellingham scoring goals interspersed with clips of English fans in celebration.
It concludes with a dramatic close-up of Bellingham and the slogan "You Got This."
England Is Coming Together
Aside from the Real Madrid player, other notable figures also make guest appearances in the highly emotional spot:
- David Beckham
- Frank Lampard
- Ian Wright
- Stormzy
- Laura Woods
Fans of the British football legends flocked to X to express their support, with many saying they "got goosebumps."
Bellingham also featured in Adidas' "Football Anthem Film" spot last week, alongside legends like Lionel Messi.
England's first game of Euro 2024 will be against Serbia on Sunday, June 17.
