“It’s something that has never happened to me in my career”. This is how Carlo Ancelotti summed up the crazy evening of his Real Madrid on the Valencia pitch on Saturday evening (2-2). To summarize, while Jude Bellingham thought he had scored the winning goal in the very last moments of the match, the referee of the match, Mr. Jesús Gil Manzano, decided to whistle the end of the match during Brahim’s cross Diaz for his English teammate, in full action.
An incomprehensible situation for the whole of Real Madrid, which led to virulent complaints around the refereeing body. And after that, Jude Bellingham was forced to receive a red card. And despite the defense of Carlo Ancelotti, who assured that the English midfielder had not insulted the referee, Mr. Jesús Gil Manzano published a report showing virulent comments from Jude Bellingham after the referee’s decision.
Jude Bellingham allegedly uttered insults
Player Bellingham was sent off for the following reason: after the match ended and still on the field, he ran towards me with an aggressive attitude and shouting, repeating several times “It’s a fucking goal! The ball is in the air. What is that ?”. And this aggressive attitude, as well as his insults could force the 20-year-old player to receive a heavy sanction. According to the Spanish daily A.S.Jude Bellingham could receive up to three games of suspension.
The Englishman should therefore miss the reception of Celta de Vigo next Sunday, the trip to Osasuna (March 16) and potentially the reception of Athletic Bilbao on March 31. Even if Bellingham is heading towards a two-match sanction, rather than three. For its part, Real Madrid was shocked by this decision after the match and now intends to appeal, especially since the Technical Committee of Referees also did not understand this decision by Mr. Manzano. A fact of the game which has not stopped being talked about in Spain.
