While Real Madrid largely beat Espanyol Barcelona on Saturday evening (4-1), Jude Bellingham is at the heart of a controversy. He is said to have insulted the referee.
The victory was slow to emerge. Having been silent for a long time and even trailing at home, Real Madrid managed to turn things around on Saturday evening in the final part of the match against Espanyol Barcelona. Finally a big winner (4-1, 6th day of La Liga), the Merengue club has since occupied the media space, but for a completely different reason. And a much less glorious one, that one. Jude Bellingham is the target of an accusation.
Just after the match, several Spanish media outlets revealed images of the England international having just received a yellow card. Particularly angry, he said a few words towards the referee who clearly did not hear them. But according to
Brand who looked into the matter more closely by reviewing the sequence, Jude Bellingham is said to have called Mr. Munuera Montero names.
Threat of sanctions
” You are a piece of shit“, the former Borussia Dortmund player is said to have said. The action took place at the end of the match, when the player was coming out of a duel with José Gragera, against whom he was demanding a yellow card. A slap that the referee had taken out against Bellingham himself, asking him to calm down. Which had the gift of making him go a little more crazy. Three minutes later, the Englishman was taken off by Carlo Ancelotti, the Madrid coach seeing clearly that he was on the verge of being sent off.
Jude Bellingham slipped through the net on the spot, but he could be sanctioned retroactively. The officials should take care of reviewing the sequence to then judge whether or not to suspend the Madrid player. For its part, Real Madrid took advantage of its victory to temporarily climb to second place in the Liga standings, one point behind FC Barcelona who play Sunday at Villarreal (6:30 p.m.).
