Bellingham Sent Off in Controversial Real Madrid Draw, Goal Disallowed
Red Card Controversy Leaves Real Madrid Fuming
Bellingham Banned for Two La Liga Games
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham was controversially sent off after he was denied an injury-time winner against Valencia on Sunday.
Bellingham thought he had snatched a dramatic victory for Real in the 93rd minute, but his goal was ruled out for offside after a lengthy video review. As Bellingham remonstrated with the referee, he was shown a second yellow card and subsequently sent off.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti was furious with the decision, claiming that Bellingham was clearly onside and that the referee had made a "serious mistake." The club is considering appealing the red card and the disallowed goal to the Spanish Football Federation.
Bellingham's suspension means he will miss Real Madrid's upcoming La Liga matches against Barcelona and Sevilla. The midfielder has been one of Real's standout performers this season, and his absence will be a major blow to the team's title hopes.
Real Madrid are currently second in La Liga, one point behind Barcelona. They will be desperate to bounce back from the Valencia draw in their next match, which is a crucial clash against their arch-rivals at the Camp Nou.
