What happened to Bellingham?
To recall, Bellingham obtained a red card in Madrid’s controversial 2-2 draw at Valencia.
The English star argued with referee Jesús Gil Manzano, who blew the final whistle moments before he scored a potential game-winning header.
Bellingham displayed an “aggressive attitude”, and allegedly shouted “It’s a f—ing goal” to the official.
Unless the club’s appeal becomes successful, Bellingham will not appear again until March 31.
“I didn’t say anything offensive”
Bellingham expressed his frustration in a post-match interview following the draw with RB Leipzig in the Champions League round of 16.
“It’s difficult to talk about because there’s appeals going on,” Bellingham said.
‘”All I can say is what happened, with the referee’s decision to blow the whistle. He’s human, but so am I. “I didn’t say anything offensive. I feel like at times because I’m new, they want to make an example [of me], which I’m cool with. I have to take responsibility for my actions. I think two games is a bit ridiculous but if I have to miss those two games, I’ll support the team from the stands.”
Bellingham will miss upcoming La Liga games against Celta Vigo and Osasuna.
The 20-year-old has scored 16 goals in 22 league appearances this season, helping Real Madrid top the table.
His assist against Leipzig made it four goals and four assists in six Champions League games for Madrid.
