Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham received a straight red card for allegedly using offensive language towards referee Jose Luis Munuera Montero during their match against Osasuna.
The incident occurred in the 38th minute when Bellingham was seen arguing about a previous play near the center circle.
While the exact words Bellingham used remain unclear, the referee halted the game and issued a straight red card, causing outrage from Bellingham and his teammates. This marks Bellingham’s second red card since joining Real Madrid, with his first coming during a heated 2024 March draw against Valencia.
Bellingham has a history of losing his temper on the pitch, including a profane outburst in a recent match against Atletico Madrid over a throw-in dispute, where he was heard swearing at the linesman.
The red card has intensified Real Madrid’s ongoing tensions with the Spanish Football Federation and referees. The club had already filed a formal complaint to the RFEF following a controversial loss to Espanyol, with manager Carlo Ancelotti criticizing the officials for their “inexplicable” decisions.
