Another defeat for Real Madrid in his duel against Spanish arbitration. This time the Merengue club challenged a suspension of two games inflicted on Jude Bellingham, following the red card and the expulsion of the midfielder during the championship meeting against Osasuna (1-1, 24th day). The appeal commission confirmed the sanction.
Released in the thirty-nineteenth minute of the match for words pronounced against the central referee, Jude Bellingham will therefore miss the upcoming duels against Girona (February 23) and Real Betis (March 2). On the other hand, he will be able to play on February 26 during the King's Cup semi-final against Real Sociedad.
Notes not convincing enough
Real Madrid disputed the suspension of his player because, as Carlo Ancelotti himself explained the same evening at a press conference, the words heard by the referee would not have been exactly spoken by Bellingham: ” I think the referee did not understand English well, said the Italian coach. He told her 'fuck off'
and not 'Fuck you'. It has nothing to do with it.“”
A defense which has therefore not convinced and in its report, the Commission confirmed that the elements presented by Real Madrid were not likely to make it change his mind. A very bad news for Jude Bellingham who will have to eat out her brake while waiting to be able to come back. This absence could however allow certain players in lack of playing time, to get a little. Arda Güller for example.
