The Spanish giants, the most successful club in La Liga history, were held to a 1-1 draw against Osasuna last weekend. However, the controversial moment of the match was when Madrid midfielder Bellingham received a red card from referee Jose Luis Munuera Montero for using foul and abusive language just 39 minutes into the game.
The Spanish referee claimed that Jude directed a 'f*** you' at him in frustration. However, the former Birmingham star later cleared the air that he had actually said 'f*** off.'
Real Madrid will be facing Manchester City for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League playoffs on Wednesday night at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. Ahead of the highly anticipated kickoff, our expert analyst has provided the guideline on how to watch in the article below.
Spanish outlet Sport has reported that Los Blancos might consider a surprising move to join another European league due to growing frustrations with officiating in Spain.
The report further suggests that Madrid might consider joining Serie A, Ligue 1, or the Bundesliga—the top divisions of Italy, France, and Germany, respectively—to address their challenges.
However, any potential league change for Madrid would require them to get approval from FIFA, the desired league they intend to join, and UEFA.
Meanwhile, following his dismissal on Saturday afternoon, Bellingham now risks facing a potential 12-match suspension due to his explicit outburst directed at the referee.
According to the Spanish FA's disciplinary code, any player found guilty of "insulting, offending, or addressing the main referee, assistants, fourth official, directors, or sports authorities in an offensive manner or with disrespectful conduct" faces a suspension ranging from four to 12 matches.
