Bruno Bellone (born 14 March 1962) is a French former professional footballer who played as a winger, and who earned 34 caps and scored two goals for France from 1981 to 1988.
[2] Bellone played a significant role in two key incidents in France's 1986 World Cup quarter final against Brazil.
Firstly, as the end of extra-time approached, he had a clear opportunity to score the winning goal, as he rounded Brazil goalkeeper Carlos on the edge of the penalty area.
He was blocked by Carlos as he went past him, thus knocking him off balance and preventing him to reach the ball in time to score.
France manager Henri Michel, confronted after the game with the possibility that Bellone's penalty should not have stood, pointed to the Carlos incident in open play and said "There was a certain justice in that".
