Suspended two matches, Jude Bellingham returned to the field with Real Madrid yesterday, against Athletic Bilbao. If the 20-year-old was not decisive, he participated in the Merengues' victory at home (2-0). On the other hand, the Englishman did not reconcile with the referees, on the contrary.

As pointed out Marca, the former Borussia Dortmund made the gesture with his mouth sealed when referee Arberola Rojas did not signal an obvious foul according to him. A simple gesture, illustrating his annoyance at the way he is treated by the referees, preferring not to say anything for fear of being sanctioned.
