Jude Bellingham believes his Borussia Dortmund team-mate Emre Can gets 'overlooked' after producing a fantastic goal line clearance in the Champions League win over Chelsea.
Dortmund beat Graham Potter's side 1-0 in Germany on Wednesday night in the first leg of their last 16 clash with Karim Adeyemi's second half goal separating the two sides.
However, Chelsea almost found an equaliser late on in the game, but former Liverpool midfielder Can ensured his side would go to London with a lead after a game-winning bit of play.

Bellingham could soon follow in Can's footsteps by playing for Liverpool in the centre of the midfield as the Reds make the 19-year-old their number one target for the summer window.
The England international spoke to BT Sport after Dortmund's 1-0 win: "When you make plays like that you deserve all of the credit.
"He plays in a position where he maybe gets overlooked sometimes, but we know how important he is for the team. It was another game-winning block and I told him that. I hope he knows he had a brilliant game."
