England star Jude Bellingham was sent for abnormal opinions in a staggering incident in which the Real Madrid star was involved.
The midfielder stood in the side when the Spanish giants take on Osasuna. And it all started clearly when the French forward Kylian Mbappe led them.
But during a confusing incident in which Bellingham seemed to complain about a decision by the referee in the 39th minute, he was seen a straight red card. That call seemed to be even more confused by the midfielder, with a bewilder look over his face.
Real boss Carlo Ancelotti was left furiously in his press conference after the game, he said: “I don't want to talk about the referee because I want to stay on the couch. When Bellingham was sent, he didn't understand English because he f ** * Off, not f *** you.
Bellingham explained his opinion about the incident and said: “I never insulted the referee, I am happy to see that there are the videos to show the reality despite the referee's report. It is clear that there was a communication error. The Is an expression as Spanish one 'joder' … and the result is that he has left us with one player less.
“It is not an insult, it was an expression for myself. I am here to apologize to my teammates while I brought them into a difficult situation today, “the midfielder added.
It was Bellingham's second sent for Real Madrid since he arrived at the Bernabeu. He was also sent away late last season on a 2-2 draw with Valencia and took a straight red card deep in the stop time for different opinions.
And the absence of Bellingham seemed to harm Real Madrid against Osasuna, who gave an equalizer in the second half and could not find a winning goal. It makes the side of Ancelotti vulnerable at the top of the table with only a two -point advantage compared to City Rivals Atletico Madrid who have played more a game.
Bellingham now seems to be banned for the next Real against Girona match. But it will be good to play for their decisive Champions League collision with Manchester City.
The Spanish side has a 3-2 advantage after their victory in the Etihad Stadium, Bellingham scored a dramatic late winner. After that game he said: “It was a strange when we played some of our best football of the season and walked into the game in the back.
“I don't care what form City is located, they are still an incredible team and so difficult to play against, the way they move and manipulate your positioning. It is always very difficult to play against them.
“In the end we finally took one of the many opportunities, so that's what it has counted. I felt that our performance deserved the victory. We played well in the game and created opportunities and felt at some point that they would land. “
Asked what he could expect in the second stage, Bellingham added: “It is a really good position. It is always nice to take a lead to play the second stage at home, it is a real blessing. I am sure the Bernabeu will prove to be for that and we must give them a performance they deserve. “
