Jude Bellingham's Red Card Sparks Controversy Over Referee Claims

Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham received a red card amid confusion during a match, prompting his coach Carlo Ancelotti to defend him.

Real Madrid faced Osasuna in an intense match that saw Jude Bellingham receiving a red card for dissent. The incident occurred when Bellingham reportedly directed an expletive at referee Jose Luis Munuera after a free-kick was awarded against his team.

A Match in Controversy

Despite being sent off, Bellingham believes the situation stemmed from a misunderstanding. Manager Carlo Ancelotti expressed his disagreement, arguing that Bellingham’s words were misinterpreted by the referee.

“Bellingham didn’t do anything that deserved a sending off. He said ‘f— off,’ not ‘f— you.’”
