The 18-year-old midfielder was ashen-faced after his team had just lost 3-1 to Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup.
But some Dortmund fans stayed behind to applaud their efforts, with Bellingham showing his own appreciation.
The former Birmingham City star walked over to the stand and handed his shirt to a man who handed it down to another man in a wheelchair.
The act of kindness was shared by Dortmund on their official Twitter account.
