Jude Bellingham’s controversial red card in the 39th minute against Osasuna is expected to spark a new wave of outrage within Real Madrid.
It was a tough Saturday for Bellingham, who was shown a straight red for protesting after what seemed like a harmless exchange. The English midfielder’s dismissal put his team in a difficult position.
This red card comes amid an already tense atmosphere, with Real Madrid frequently voicing concerns over unfavorable refereeing decisions. Following recent controversies, particularly against Espanyol, this incident further fuels suspicions of targeted officiating against the club.
The consequences could be severe for the league-leading Merengues, who now risk losing a key midfield figure in their title race. Additionally, a missed penalty call on Vinicius Jr only added to the team’s frustration with Spanish refereeing.
