Real Madrid unexpectedly failed to secure an away victory against Elche in the latest round of the Spanish La Liga. The Blancos trailed twice during the match but managed to avoid defeat thanks to Bellingham's goal just minutes before the final whistle.
This episode sparked a wave of controversy and raised serious questions about the referee's decision. Following a set-piece, Real Madrid managed to force the ball over the line, but did so with a blatant foul that somehow went unnoticed by the official. Moments before Bellingham's goal, Vinicius crashed into Elche goalkeeper Iñaki Peña, striking the shot-stopper in the face with his knee. Peña even had to pause to stop the bleeding after the collision, yet the video assistants chose not to intervene and the goal ultimately stood.
It's worth noting that after Matchday 13, Real Madrid remain at the top of the table, but their lead over Barcelona has been reduced to just a single point.
