As a result of the controversial red card that he received during Real Madrid’s match against Osasuna in La Liga on September 15, Jude Bellingham has finally been informed of the punishment that he will receive.
Bellingham, who is 21 years old, was given his marching orders by Jose Luis Munuera Montero because of a comment that was deemed to be dissenting.
After the game, Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, provided some insight into the decision, which initially left the fans in a state of confusion.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Ancelotti was quoted as saying, “I believe the referee did not understand Jude Bellingham’s English communication.” It’s a very different thing to say that he said f*ck off, not f*ck you. Because I want to be on the bench the following week, I won’t go into any further detail about the referee.
After some time had passed, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) issued a warning about Bellingham’s behaviour.
“The professional referees are absolutely repulsed by the attacks and threats that our colleague Jose Luis Munuera Montero is receiving through social networks,” the RFEF stated in a statement released yesterday.
“These attacks add to the hatred and verbal violence through which we have to carry out our professional work every weekend, and that in the base categories becomes, even more regrettably, physical violence in many cases.”
It was widely reported that Bellingham could be suspended for a total of twelve games as a result of his actions.
Marca, a Spanish news outlet, reported on Wednesday afternoon that the Englishman had been given a two-match suspension, which would cause him to miss matches against Girona and Real Betis.
According to AS, a formal investigation has been opened, and as a result, Montero is currently being investigated by the RFEF for a possible conflict of interest.
According to reports, he established a sports management and consulting firm that serves a variety of clients, including La Liga, UEFA, and RFEF, as well as clubs such as Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain.
