Bellingham Red Card Controversy Dominates Headlines After Real Madrid Draw

Real Madrid’s frustrating streak continued with a 1-1 draw against Osasuna at El Sadar on Saturday, marking their third consecutive winless game in La Liga.

However, the match’s biggest talking point wasn’t the dropped points, but the controversial red card shown to star midfielder Jude Bellingham in the 40th minute.

Bellingham’s dismissal stemmed from his verbal protests following a disputed corner kick. Referee Munuera Montero’s official match report states that Bellingham was sent off for saying “F*** you” directly to him. This accusation, if upheld, could lead to a two-match ban for the young star.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Article 124 of the Disciplinary Code, which covers “disrespect or disregard towards referees,” could see Bellingham sidelined for Real Madrid’s upcoming La Liga clashes against Girona and Real Betis.

While a two-match ban is the most likely outcome based on the referee’s report, a lesser one-match suspension is possible under Article 126, if the Disciplinary Committee deems the incident “conduct contrary to good sporting order.”

Crucially, the potential ban would not affect Bellingham’s availability for the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg against Real Sociedad.

Real Madrid, however, are not taking the matter lying down.

The club is expected to appeal the decision, likely presenting video evidence to argue that Bellingham’s words were misinterpreted and that he did not intend to insult the referee.

Their task will be challenging, as Article 27 of the Disciplinary Code gives significant weight to the referee’s account, stating that their decisions are presumed accurate unless there is “clear material error.”

Adding another layer to the controversy, Bellingham himself has offered a different account of the incident.

Speaking to the media after the game, he explained that there was a “miscommunication” and that he actually said, “I’m speaking to you with respect – f*** off,” clarifying that the phrase was directed generally, not at the referee personally.

He further stated that he hopes the Spanish Football Federation will review the footage and acknowledge the error, emphasizing that he did not insult anyone and that the situation was a “lack of understanding, a clear mistake by the referee.”

Video footage analyzed by Movistar appears to support Bellingham’s version of events, suggesting that the referee may have misheard the exchange.

The Disciplinary Committee is set to rule on the matter on Wednesday.
