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.’”
— Carlo Ancelotti
The aftermath sees Real Madrid left with an uphill battle in the game’s later stages, ultimately leading to a draw.
Looking Ahead
With Bellingham now banned from the next match, Real Madrid’s upcoming encounter against Girona will be critical as they seek to regain their footing in La Liga.
