Referee José Luis Munuera showed a straight red to Jude Bellingham for using explicit language against him in the 40th minute of the game complaining about the refereeing decision.
Jude Bellingham Vs Referee Controversy, Miscommunication Emerged As The Cause Of The Red Card Leading To 12 Match Ban For The Englishman
Grievance regarding referee decisions is increasing in La Liga after Real Madrid Alaves also launched a complaint against refereeing in the League. A glimpse of the referring decision we noticed on Saturday in the Osasuna vs Real Madrid match where the red card was shown without any warning!
The Misunderstanding Of Language Is Reason For Red Card of Jude Bellingham
In a press conference, Bellingham said, “It is clear that he made a mistake and there was a miscommunication.” He added, “I want to make sure that the team knows that I wasn’t irresponsible enough to put them in a situation where they were left with 10.”
He said he was just showing his frustration by not cursing the referee's decision and that the referee misunderstood. It was also seen in the video that Referee explaining Modric that using the word “F*ck you” is the reason for the red. But Jude Bellingham expressed that he said “F*uck off” out of frustration for constantly not giving fouls against Osasuna.

Ancelotti Might Get Into Big Soup If A 12 Match Ban Imposed On The Midfielder
Ancelotti also defended his player stating. “Bellingham didn’t do anything that deserved a sending-off,” Ancelotti said. “He said ‘(expletive) off,’ not ’(expletive) you.’ I don’t think that was meant to be offensive.”
The REFF is looking into the situation and if the allegation is proven then the Englishman could suffer a ban of 4 to 12 matches in La Liga that will make him miss crucial matches including Copa Del Rey Matches. It would create a big chaos and put a question on Real Madrid’s Title race competition with a crucial player out who gave 7 goals and 6 assists in La Liga.
