What Jude Bellingham screamed at referee after ‘scandalous’ red card in Real Madrid vs Valencia
Jude Bellingham found himself at the center of a controversial moment as Real Madrid faced Valencia, a match marred by a disallowed winning goal and a subsequent red card.
In an intense encounter, Real Madrid battled back from a 2-0 deficit to draw 2-2, with Vinicius Junior netting both crucial goals. However, the turning point came in the 99th minute when Bellingham’s header found the back of the net, seemingly sealing victory for Real Madrid. Yet, the jubilation was short-lived as the referee had already blown the full-time whistle just as Brahim Diaz was delivering the cross.
The decision left players and coaching staff incredulous and irate, surrounding the referee in protest. Amid the chaos, Bellingham, experiencing his first red card since joining Real Madrid last summer, voiced his frustration, vehemently arguing that the goal should have stood.
Following the match, Bellingham shared his disbelief on social media, retweeting numerous posts that echoed the sentiment of injustice. Real Madrid, too, expressed their discontent, labeling the referee’s early whistle as “unprecedented” and announcing their intention to appeal Bellingham’s red card.
Despite the contentious finale, Bellingham, along with other players, extended well wishes to Valencia’s Mouctar Diakhaby, who suffered a severe leg injury during the match, emphasizing solidarity amidst the turmoil on the pitch.
