Jude Bellingham urges La Liga to use ‘common sense’ when considering Real Madrid’s ‘absurd’ two-game suspension.

Jude Bellingham, the talented young footballer, has expressed his frustration with La Liga over his upcoming two-game suspension, which he deems as “a bit ridiculous”. The referee’s report claimed that Bellingham displayed an “aggressive attitude” towards official Jesus Gil Manzano after scoring a goal just moments after the final whistle had blown. Bellingham hopes that the club can appeal the decision and have the ban reduced, but if not, he is ready to accept the consequences of his actions and support his team from the stands. However, he believes that La Liga should exercise some common sense in this matter.

In an interview with other media outlets, Bellingham further expressed his belief that La Liga is attempting to make an example out of him. He stated that he did not use offensive language or say anything different from what his teammates said. Bellingham feels that his status as a newcomer may have contributed to the severity of the punishment. Despite not being proud of his actions, he finds it excessive to receive a two-match ban for his behavior. Nevertheless, he is prepared to take responsibility and cheer on his team from the sidelines.

Real Madrid managed to secure a spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League after a 1-1 draw against Leipzig in the second leg of their last-16 clash. Leipzig had several opportunities to score during the game but failed to convert, allowing Real Madrid to progress. Bellingham admitted that it was not their best performance as a team or individually, but sometimes winning requires grinding out results and defending well. He acknowledged the importance of making crucial blocks and capitalizing on the chances they had, particularly with Vinicius Junior’s goal.

Bellingham expressed satisfaction with advancing to the next round but emphasized that they faced a formidable Leipzig team that posed a significant challenge from the very beginning. Overall, Bellingham’s frustration with his suspension and Real Madrid’s mixed performance highlights the need for common sense in decision-making and the recognition of the quality of their opponents.
