Jude Bellingham was quick to react. Following his expulsion against Osasuna last Saturday, which cost two precious points to Real Madrid, the English midfielder apologized to his teammates. A strong gesture after an incident that caused a stir in Spain.
Bellingham apologizes publicly after his red card
On his social networks, Bellingham shared: “With everything that has been said about this misunderstanding, I just wanted to apologize once again to have put my teammates in a difficult position and thank fans for their support and understanding. See you at home Wednesday (against Manchester City) ”. The player insisted that the incident with referee Jose Luis Munuera Montero was a misunderstanding, but that did not prevent criticism.
A growing controversy in Spain
This affair is gaining momentum, in particular because the involved referee received threats on social networks, coming from fans of Real Madrid. A situation that the liga takes very seriously. In addition, Hansi Flick, coach of FC Barcelona, has poisoned things by qualifying the behavior of Bellingham as “disrespectful”, adding an additional dimension to this controversy.
While Real Madrid is preparing to face Manchester City, this tension around Bellingham could disrupt the team. The young Englishman, aware of his fault, tried to calm the game. But in Spain, the case continues to cause a lot of ink to flow.
