The 1-1 draw of Real Madrid against Osasuna was a fairly sensitive affair with Star midfielder Jude Bellingham who was sent away in the 39th minute with a straight red card for deviating opinions. After Osasuna had been given a free kick, the English midfielder seemed to scream an expletive in the direction of referee Jose Luis Munuera. There was no hesitation between that moment and Bellingham was sent during the game, so Real Madrid left a man for the rest of the collision.

Los Blancos would give up the management that Kylian Mbappe provided by admitting a fine in the 58th minute. Eduardo Camavinga made contact with Osasuna attacker Ante Budmir in the box and after a VAR review a penalty was awarded that Budmir placed past Thibaut Courtois. It is a result that will come as a disappointment for Los Blancos, but the bigger story is that they will now be without Bellingham for their next league match against Girona.

After the match, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti claimed that the referee had made a translation error because the words of Bellingham were in English.

“Bellingham did nothing that deserved a broadcast,” said Ancelotti. “He said” f — off, “not” f — you. ” I don’t think that was offensive “

Bellingham also repeated that it was a mistake and a misunderstanding.

“It is clear that I said it, because I am already in the playing field and when he says it is an insult if I have not clearly insulted him. I am glad that the video has come out and there is proof that what comes across what has been placed in the report and as I say: ” Said Bellingham. “I am only here to apologize to my teammates because they have brought them into a position, which means it is more difficult to lose the game, but in essence I have the feeling that it was a mistake and a misunderstanding. ” You can judge the video for yourself.

This is not the first time That Bellingham is accused of screaming Expletives against a referee and Real Madrid also does not become strangers for referee problems. Real Madrid sent a letter that complained about referee errors during a loss of Espanyol, where a player should have been sent away for an error on Kylian Mbappe prior to the Madrid Derby opposite Atletico Madrid.

In that competition, Atleti was given a controversial fine That Julian Alvarez scored to secure a draw, but it has only added more fuel to the finer, because this is the last incident they are involved. Real Madrid will have to have brief memories with a second seed fight in the Champions League playoff internship against Manchester City on Wednesday, but this will not be the last to be heard of Real Madrid versus Spanish referees.
