Jude Bellingham, who plays as a midfielder for Real Madrid, has received a punishment of not being able to play in two matches due to his angry behavior towards the referee, Jesus Gil Manzano, following the team's tie against Valencia.

Bellingham and Madrid got very angry on Saturday night because Gil Manzano stopped the game right as Brahim Diaz was crossing the ball into the box, which then led to Bellingham scoring by heading the ball into the net.

During the game, the referee Gil Manzano had informed the players that the playing of the game would end after the previous corner. However, when Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili punched away the set-piece, the referee allowed the game to keep going instead of stopping it. As the ball was passed out to Diaz, who then attempted to cross the ball, the referee unexpectedly blew the whistle, robbing Real Madrid of the opportunity to secure a win.

After the match, Bellingham was very angry and is said to have used a bad word when talking to the referee. This was written by Gil Manzano in his report. The referee then gave the player a red card during the game.

The statement given by Gil Manzano, the official in charge of the game, stated that in the 999th minute, Jude Victor William Bellingham, who was wearing the number 5 jersey, was dismissed from the game for the following reason: As soon as the match was over and while still present on the field, he charged towards me in an aggressive manner and continuously shouted, "It's a f*****g goal!"

Therefore, La Liga has imposed a suspension on Bellingham for two games, which implies that he won't be able to participate in the upcoming matches against Osasuna and Celta Vigo.

A penalty of €600 has been imposed on him and additionally, Real Madrid has been asked to pay a fine of €700. The club has declared that they plan to contest the judgment.

Bellingham has scored more goals than any other player in La Liga this season, with a total of 16. Borja Mayoral from Getafe is the closest competitor with one goal less.

Madrid are currently leading the league with 66 points, which puts them seven points ahead of Girona who are in second place.

In addition, they have successfully made it to the round of 16 in the Champions League. They will have the opportunity to host RB Leipzig with a 1-0 advantage after winning the first leg.
