Jude Bellingham finds himself serving a two-match suspension after receiving a red card during Real Madrid’s recent 2-2 draw with Valencia, a match characterized by controversy. La Liga authorities took action against Bellingham for his conduct towards referee Jesus Gil Manzano at Mestalla Stadium. The incident unfolded after the English midfielder, feeling frustrated over a disallowed goal in the dying moments of the game, expressed his discontent directly to Manzano, reportedly uttering, “It’s a f***ing goal.”

Madrid Zone reports that the 20-year-old has been fined €600, while Real Madrid faces a €700 fine. Consequently, Bellingham will miss his team’s upcoming clashes against Celta Vigo on March 10 and Osasuna on March 16. Real Madrid is planning to contest the decision, with coach Carlo Ancelotti publicly supporting the English player in the aftermath of the match.

The suspension stems from Bellingham’s alleged display of “attitudes of contempt or reconsideration towards referees, managers, or sports authorities,” as disclosed by Relevo. Tensions were palpable at Mestalla Stadium, especially as Bellingham, the recipient of the 2023 Golden Boy award, believed he had clinched a last-gasp victory. However, Ancelotti’s side was ultimately held to a draw, salvaging the result thanks to Vinicius Junior’s brace. Notably, this match marked Bellingham’s return from an ankle injury, marking his first appearance since recuperating.

Looking ahead, Real Madrid and Bellingham now turn their attention to the UEFA Champions League, where the midfielder remains eligible to compete. They are gearing up to take on RB Leipzig in the second leg of their last-16 tie on March 6 at the Santiago Bernabeu. Ancelotti’s team holds a slender 1-0 aggregate lead as they brace for the pivotal encounter.
