Real Madrid has failed in its appeal against Jude Bellingham's two-match suspension for swearing at a referee during a La Liga match. The incident occurred on February 15, when Bellingham received a red card for allegedly saying "f*** you" to the match official. Although the club contested the phrasing, the Spanish Football Federation maintained the ban, emphasizing the seriousness of disrespecting officials. Bellingham will miss upcoming matches, including crucial league and Champions League fixtures. The RFEF also condemned hate directed at the referee following this incident, reinforcing their position on sportsmanship and respect in football.
After reviewing the case, the appeals committee concluded that Real Madrid's assertion that Bellingham said 'f** off' instead of 'f** you' was irrelevant to the matter at hand.
The RFEF has issued a two-match ban to Bellingham due to his contemptuous behavior, highlighting the organization's zero tolerance for disrespect towards referees.
