Jude Bellingham launches into X-rated tirade at linesman in heated Madrid derby

Jude Bellingham has risked punishment from LaLiga after appearing to tell the linesman to 'f*** off' in Real Madrid's biggest game of the season.

Hosting city rivals Atletico Madrid at the Bernabeu, the league lead is at stake with the teams separated by a single point.

Atleti have so far taken the impetus, going a goal up from the spot through former Manchester City man Julian Alvarez.

That penalty left Carlo Ancelotti with his head in his hands as Samuel Lino didn’t even touch the ball before being taken down, but his frustrations were nothing compared to Bellingham’s.

Even before the opener, the England superstar was feeling the heat of the derby, flying in on Marcos Llorente.

And then, in the 12th minute, he got a little too competitive over a throw-in.

Contesting the ball with Llorente, another throw-in was given Atleti’s way, and the match audio picked up him shouting, 'F*** you man! F*** off!', presumably towards the linesman.

Bellingham failed to make much of an impact in the remainder of the half, as both teams looked good in possession and were keen to attack.

But it was once again injuries that were Madrid’s downfall, with midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni in at centre-back, and conceding the go-ahead penalty.
