In full offensive against arbitration, Real Madrid could not let the opportunity pass. This Saturday, during the draw conceded on the field of Osasuna (1-1, 24th day of Liga), the Merengue club saw Jude Bellingham being expelled from the thirty-ninth minute of play for an insult. But Real disputes the interpretation of the arbitrator and decided to appeal the decision.
Ten days earlier, the fault of Carlos Romero on Kylian Mbappé, not-facility of a red and which had allowed the L’Espanyol side to stay on the lawn before going to register the winning goal (1-0), had triggered the Madrid ire. Since then, the “Casa Blanca” has fired any wood against Spanish arbitration in its entirety, ensuring that it was particularly abused by the decisions of men in black.
Interpretation error according to Real
And inevitably, Mr. Munuera's choice to expel Jude Bellingham again overflowed the vase. Saturday at a press conference, Carlo Ancelotti had already pleaded in favor of his player: “I think the referee did not understand English well. He told her 'fuck off' and not 'Fuck you'. It has nothing to do with it. »» A nuance which therefore justifies in the eyes of Real Madrid this choice to appeal, as the Spanish press indicated this Sunday.
While waiting to see if the call will be taken into account or not, the English international is exposed to a sanction which could rise to twelve suspension matches. If the disciplinary committee finds him attenuating circumstances, then he could get away with two “only” suspension games.
