Jude Bellingham is one of the best players in La Liga since he arrived in 2023, but outside of Real Madrid he does not seem to be particularly loved. His attitude towards referees is something that has been called in the past, and last weekend he was sent out for different opinions by official Jose Luis Munuera Montero on the field during the match against Osasuna.
Despite an attraction from Real Madrid, the suspension has been maintained, which means that Bellingham will miss matches in La Liga against Girona and Real Sociedad – a big blow to the title defender. A person who laughed at the situation is Pablo Maffeo, who has been one of Los Blancos' Nemesis in recent years.
Maffeo has regularly walked with various Real Madrid players, in particular Vinicius Junior. However, it appears that he prefers the Brazilian above Bellingham, as he made clear during a recent interview with Zona 10 (via Diario AS).
“I think Vinicius is better than Bellingham because he is like that he is hot head and comes from the front. The other is behind. It is like in real life, if you don't like me, perfect, but you come to me right away.
“If you go as a gentleman, the boy who is cold and I put the jacket on him, but insult or mess with your teammates from behind you, then you are fake. Come face to eye. If I don't like you either, if he already knows, but doesn't come in a good way. So if I have to choose one of the two, I choose Vinicius, whom I know how he is. '
Maffeo did not miss his chance to go to Bellingham, which is clear that he is not a very big fan. However, it is unlikely that the English midfielder will think a lot about the comments, because his focus will be on returning for Real Madrid after his suspension of two games.
