The Spanish Football Association officially announced on the 20th (Korea time) that Bellingham was suspended for two games. The reason is an insult to the referee.
The incident occurred on the 16th (Korea time). Real Madrid played Osasuna in the 24th round of the Spanish Primera Liga in 2024-2025 season at Estadio El Sadar in Pamplona, Spain on the 16th. The result is a 1-1 draw. In the 15th minute of the first half, Kylian Mbappe scored the first goal after receiving a pass from Federico Valverde, but he allowed Ande Boudimir to score a penalty goal in the 13th minute of the second half.
The variable was 39 minutes in the first half. Bellingham strongly protested to the referee in the scene where Osasuna got a free kick. After the altercation, the referee immediately pulled out a red card. Without Bellingham, Real Madrid drew after a struggle.
After the game Bellingham `never insulted the referee. Fortunately, we will be able to confirm the facts as much as there is a video. "I didn't say anything harsh directly to the referee. The swear words I used were simple exclamations, which were like zoders in Spanish. I never meant to take a bath.' Joder can be interpreted in Korean to the extent that 'Jesal'. "I want to apologize for putting the team in a difficult situation," Bellingham said.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti was on the cover of Bellingham after the game. He "The referee doesn't seem to understand English very well. Bellingham said 'FXXX OFF' and not 'FXXX YOU'. This is a big difference." It means that it was an expression made alone, not to insult the other person.
Real Madrid challenged Ancelotti's claim in real life. In the past, Cristiano Ronaldo even said "It's a common expression in England, and it's not a reason for leaving."
However, the Spanish Football Association rejected it, saying "We cannot clearly judge what was said afterwards, but no matter what expression is used, our contempt for the referee remains unchanged.'
Real Madrid plan to appeal the disciplinary action.
This is not the first time Bellingham's controversy over abusive language towards referees. In September last year, he made insulting remarks to the referee in a game against Espanyol, and in a game against Atletico Madrid on the 9th, he was controversial for swearing at the referee. This abusive language was broadcast as it was.
