Jude Bellingham used foul language at the referee in a 2-2 draw with Valencia

Jude Bellingham’s X-rated outburst after Real Madrid’s match against Valencia has resulted in two LaLiga match bans.

The 20-year-old England international believed he had won a thrilling late goal in Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Los Blancos. However, before the ball found its way into the net, referee Jesus Gil had actually blown the final whistle.And Bellingham was given a straight red card for his indignant response to the game’s conclusion. It is now official that he will miss Real Madrid’s next two league games while serving a two-match ban.

This implies that he will be absent from his team’s Sunday home match against Celta Vigo and their March 16 trip to Osasuna.

However, he is available for Real Madrid’s Champions League last-16 match against RB Leipzig on Wednesday night for the second leg.Following the match with Valencia, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti verified to referee Gil precisely what Bellingham had said.

The manager from Italy stated:

“Something unprecedented has happened and it’s never happened to me before. We were annoyed by Bellingham’s red card because he didn’t say anything insulting. It was frustration.

“He didn’t insult the referee. He was respectful. He spoke in English and just said: ‘It was a f***ing goal. Obviously he came close to the referee, but given what had happened that was pretty normal. He did not insult, not at all.”

Real Madrid leads Girona by seven points at the top of the La Liga standings.As they prepare for the second leg of their Champions League match at the Bernabeu, they are also ahead of RB Leipzig 1-0.However, the news that Real Madrid’s head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, may receive a lengthy prison term after he was charged with £900,000 worth of tax fraud, shocked the team on Wednesday morning.
