Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham has been unsuccessful in his appeal against the red card he received in a recent match, meaning he will miss two upcoming La Liga fixtures.
The incident occurred after the final whistle, when Bellingham protested against referee Gil Manzano’s decision to blow the whistle just before Bellingham scored what he believed was a winning goal.
In response to the referee’s decision, Bellingham reportedly expressed frustration, leading to his dismissal.
Bellingham addressed the incident, acknowledging the need for common sense in such situations and expressing disappointment with the decision.
He also recognized his responsibility for his actions and expressed willingness to accept any consequences. Despite his remarks, the Appeal Committee upheld the red card decision, meaning Bellingham will be sidelined for two matches.
The absence of Bellingham, who has been a key player for Real Madrid this season with 20 goals, will be felt in the upcoming matches against Celta Vigo and Osasuna.
Real Madrid will have to navigate these fixtures without their influential midfielder before the next international break. Bellingham’s return to action is scheduled for the match against Athletic Club on March 31.
While Bellingham’s absence will pose a challenge for Real Madrid, the team will have to adapt and perform without him.
His suspension underscores the importance of maintaining composure on the field and the consequences of disciplinary actions.
Despite the setback, Bellingham remains committed to supporting his team from the sidelines and accepting responsibility for his actions.
