Jude Bellingham reveals what he told the referee before receiving a red card in Real Madrid’s match against Osasuna.

A new perspective has surfaced regarding the red card shown to Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham during Saturday’s La Liga clash against Osasuna.

 

The English international has found himself at the center of discussions in Spain after being involved in one of the most unexpected and controversial moments of the season.

 

Late in the first half at El Sadar, Bellingham was suddenly shown a straight red card by referee José Munuera following a brief verbal exchange. The decision left fans, players, and pundits stunned, as there was no obvious sign of serious misconduct.

 

Many initially assumed that the 21-year-old had directed a harsh or inappropriate comment toward the match official, warranting the immediate dismissal. However, new reports suggest that this may not have been the case.

 

According to journalist José Luis Sánchez of El Chiringuito TV, Bellingham later explained in the dressing room that his only words to Munuera were:

 

“If this is a foul, that is a penalty.”

 

This revelation has sparked debate among football fans, with many questioning whether the referee’s decision was justified or if Bellingham was unfairly punished for a simple comment.
