Jude Bellingham faces a ban of up to 12 matches after his alleged comment to the referee during Saturday's draw with Osasuna

The midfielder was sent off for his supposed slur, leaving his side reduced to 10 men in the 1-1 draw. According to the Spanish Football Federations's rules, Insulting, offending, or addressing the main referee, assistants, fourth official, directors, or sports authorities in offensive terms or attitudes, unless it constitutes a more serious offense, will be punished with a suspension of four to 12 matches.

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti believes Bellingham was misinterpreted by the official, claiming that his midfielder had said F off rather than F you, as the referee claimed in his report. Bellingham spoke after the game, saying, I didn’t say anything bad to the referee, It’s clear that there was a communication error, It’s not an insult, it was an expression for myself.
