Jude Bellingham escaped the red card for a very dangerous gesture on Ivan Rakitic on Saturday during Sevilla-Real Madrid in La Liga (1-1). Enough to annoy the Catalan press, who believe that the Merengue midfielder should have been excluded and missed the clasico, next Saturday at Camp Nou (4:15 p.m.).
Jude Bellingham came close to prison. The Real Madrid midfielder came very close to the red card during the draw in Seville on Saturday in La Liga (1-1). In the final moments of the match, the England international (27 caps, 2 goals) was guilty of a very dangerous move on Ivan Rakitic in midfield. By intervening out of time, Bellingham dug his crampons into the right knee of his opponent, who had recovered the ball while tackling.
Despite this gross foul, the new Real star received a simple yellow card from Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea, the referee of the match. The VAR did not intervene to correct a possible error of assessment. Enough to trigger the bronca of the Sanchez Pizjuan stadium.
“This gesture should have cost him the clasico”
Enough to also anger the Catalan press, who cried scandal the day following this match. “This gesture should have cost him the clasico”, estimates the newspaper Sport, recalling that in the event of exclusion in Andalusia, Jude Bellingham would have been suspended for the clash between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid next Saturday at the Camp Nou ( 4:15 p.m.). Mundo Deportivo also wonders regarding this controversial action: “Bellingham will play the clasico… thanks to De Burgos Bengoetxea?” The pro-Barça media accompanied their comments with the image of Bellingham crushing Rakitic’s knee.
Recruited this summer from Dortmund (103 million euros), the 20-year-old playmaker has had a thunderous start to the season with the White House, where he is under contract until 2029. In eleven appearances, the right-hander of 1 .86m has scored ten goals and provided three assists in the Real jersey (all competitions combined). Enough to become the key man of the team coached by Carlo Ancelotti. And obviously the number 1 danger for Barça.
