In the match, Real Madrid fell behind after Julián Alvarez converted a penalty kick, but Kylian Mbappe equalized just five minutes into the second half.

Bellingham wasn’t the only player expressing frustration over officiating; manager Carlo Ancelotti also criticized the referee after the match. He stated, “I don’t want to talk about the referee. The VAR called the penalty, and the referee was very close to the situation. He must have seen a similar penalty called against Atlético. People in football don’t understand this. I prefer to focus on the game.”

The draw keeps Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table, maintaining a slim one-point lead over Atlético and a five-point advantage over Barcelona.
