Jude Bellingham Receives Two Match Ban After Valencia Red Card

Jude Bellingham has received a suspension for the upcoming two La Liga fixtures of Real Madrid following his dismissal in the match against Valencia last weekend, as confirmed by the Spanish football federation on Wednesday.

Madrid appealed against his red card but the federation’s disciplinary committee dismissed their complaint that referee Jesus Gil Manzano made an “error” by dismissing Bellingham.

The England international, La Liga’s top scorer with 16 strikes, scored moments after the referee blew for full-time in Madrid’s 2-2 draw at Valencia.

Bellingham, 20, ran over to the referee insisting the goal should stand, and was sent off, with Gil Manzano saying he showed an “aggressive attitude” and was “shouting”.
