The match between Osasuna and Real Madrid took an unexpected turn when Jude Bellingham was directly sent off. The decision has provoked numerous reactions, and the exact conversation between the English player and referee Munuera has been leaked, notably to the Spanish press.
As Real Madrid challenged a refereeing decision on a throw-in, Jude Bellingham approached the referee to make his point. The tone seemed respectful at first, but one word too many turned everything on its head.
‘Throw-in, it’s a throw-in, your assistant said it was a throw-in. I’m talking to you with respect. Fuck off,’ Jude Bellingham was quoted as saying by Movistar. This sentence was enough to cause the Englishman to be sent off immediately. Surprised by the severity of the penalty, the Real Madrid players challenged the decision, but the referee stood firm.

Jude Bellingham’s sending off has once again reignited the debate about refereeing in La Liga. In other leagues, similar cases have been judged differently. Some players have simply received a warning for similar remarks, while others have also been sent off. In any case, Jude Bellingham’s expulsion immediately provoked a great deal of reaction at Madrid. Dani Carvajal, who has been injured for several weeks, was the first to express his feelings on social networks. His message, which quickly went viral, revealed a certain frustration with the refereeing.
The Real Madrid directors could also intervene to defend their player. They could appeal against the penalty in an attempt to reduce the length of the suspension, although the chances of success remain limited.

Bellingham’s expulsion and the potential impact on Real Madrid’s season
If Jude Bellingham’s suspension for several matches is confirmed, it could have a major impact on the title race. The England midfielder has been one of Real Madrid’s most influential players this season, both in attack and defence. His absence would force Carlo Ancelotti to review his plans and find alternatives to maintain cohesion.

Jude Bellingham and Real Madrid will now have to wait for the authorities’ decision on the length of the suspension. In the meantime, the sending-off will go down as one of the highlights of the season, with consequences that could extend far beyond the match against Osasuna.
