Jude Bellingham was sent off for apparent dissent during the first half of Real Madrid’s La Liga match against Osasuna on Saturday.
With Madrid leading 1-0 thanks to Kylian Mbappe’s goal, the 21-year-old midfielder had a heated exchange with referee Jose Munuera Montero, who promptly brandished a red card.
This marked Bellingham’s second red card since joining Madrid from Borussia Dortmund in 2023. His first came last March after a confrontation with referee Jesus Gil Manzano during a 2-2 draw against Valencia.
Bellingham, who played a crucial role in Madrid’s La Liga and Champions League triumphs last season, has been one of the club’s standout performers.
The red card came over growing criticism from Real Madrid regarding refereeing decisions in Spain, with the club recently sending a letter to the Spanish football federation accusing referees of bias.
