The 2-2 draw between Valencia and Real Madrid meant more than a mistake for Carlo Ancelotti’s team. The scandal at the end of the game, when the referee blew the final whistle before a goal scored by the visitors, attracted the attention of the media in Spain and beyond.

Jude Bellingham, banned for two matches for protests at the end of the match against Valencia

With the score 2-2 at the Mestalla, Real managed to score a third goal through Jude Bellingham, but referee Gil Manzano blew the whistle seconds before the ball entered the net.

Upset by the centre-half’s decision, the Real Madrid players, led by Jude Bellingham, protested violently and the England midfielder saw a red card.

Now the Disciplinary Committee of the Spanish Football Federation has announced that Jude will miss the next two La Liga matches with a two-match ban.

Thus, the English midfielder will miss the matches with “Celta” (at home) and “Osasuna” (away).
