Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham could find himself in hot water after a fiery outburst directed at an assistant referee during the heated Madrid derby against Atletico Madrid.
The incident occurred in the 12th minute of Real Madrid’s 1-1 draw, when the 21-year-old midfielder was caught on camera shouting “f* you man, f*** off”** after a throw-in decision went against his team.
The England international’s reaction was clearly audible on live television, sparking speculation over whether LaLiga will take disciplinary action.
Bellingham’s Fiery Temper Under Scrutiny
This is not the first time Bellingham has lost his cool on the pitch. Back in September, he infamously called a referee a “piece of s*”** during Real Madrid’s 4-1 win against Espanyol.
On that occasion, the young star managed to escape punishment. However, with this latest outburst making headlines, Spanish football authorities may take a stricter stance.
Whether or not he faces disciplinary action remains to be seen, but the incident has added an extra layer of drama to an already intense LaLiga title race.
Real Madrid Hold Firm in the Title Race
Despite the controversy surrounding Bellingham, Los Blancos managed to maintain their lead at the top of the table.
Atletico Madrid took the lead in the 35th minute thanks to a Julian Alvarez penalty, but Real Madrid responded early in the second half through a brilliant finish from Kylian Mbappe.
With 15 games left in the season, Carlo Ancelotti’s side remains one point ahead of their city rivals in the LaLiga standings. However, with tensions running high and every point crucial, the title race is far from over.

Champions League Test Against Man City Looms
With LaLiga battles ongoing, Real Madrid now have their sights set on a massive Champions League playoff first-leg showdown against Manchester City. Ancelotti will have to carefully manage his squad, especially with a growing injury list.
Defenders David Alaba (muscle) and Antonio Rudiger (hamstring) are ruled out, while Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal remain long-term absentees due to knee injuries. Ancelotti acknowledged the challenge ahead, stating:
“For Tuesday’s game, we have to see the recovery of those who have played. Those who haven’t played today have an advantage to play on Tuesday.”
Meanwhile, Spanish full-back Lucas Vazquez is eager for the challenge ahead, saying:
“Another huge game awaits us in Manchester. It will be a difficult match against a great opponent that we have faced in the last four years. The team is eager to show our football and our worth and try to get a win there.”
With Real Madrid juggling domestic and European ambitions, all eyes will be on how they handle the pressure in the coming weeks.
