Real Madrid was just a few seconds away from a historic win over Valencia on Saturday night. Even though the ball was in the back of the net by the time referee Jesus Gil Manzano blew the full time whistle, Jude Bellingham headed home in the 99th minute.
This infuriated Los Blancos, particularly Bellingham, who questioned Gil Manzano about his choice. To Carlo Ancelotti’s confš¯”²sion, the referee ultimately gave the English player a red card for this response.

Bellingham was given a red card, and Real Madrid plans to appeal. For the time being, though, he will not play against Celta Vigo the next Saturday. He might miss two to three games, though, if this appeal is denied, as Gil Manzano said the 20-year-old approached him in a “aggrš¯”¢ssivš¯”¢Ā manner,” according to Marca.
Bellingham missing no games would be greatly missed by Real Madrid, therefore they fervently hope their appeal is granted. This will have an outcome in the coming days.
