Appeal rejected: Jude Bellingham suspended for two matches

The Osasuna vs. Real Madrid match was one of the most controversial of the past weekend due to Jude Bellingham’s red card for insulting the referee. Madrid firmly believed the English midfielder was unfairly sent off, but today, the Spanish Football Federation announced its final verdict on the club’s appeal.

Details: Real Madrid’s appeal has been officially rejected. This means Bellingham’s two-match suspension remains in force.

Carlo Ancelotti’s key midfielder is now set to miss the upcoming league matches against Girona and Real Betis.

So far this season, Bellingham has registered 11 goals and 10 assists in 34 appearances across all competitions.

Reminder: In the Champions League Round of 16, Real Madrid will face Atlético Madrid. Bellingham will miss the first leg due to yellow card accumulation.
