How Real Madrid plan to use 'Mason Greenwood defence' to get Jude Bellingham red card overturned after 'f*cking goal' outburst - explained

Champions League

Real Madrid

Salzburg

Bellingham was shown a red card after the final whistle of Madrid's La Liga clash with Valencia after confronting the referee, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/jude-bellingham-referee-real-madrid-valencia-la-liga/blt90d5f386b1f9ee2e" target="_blank">shouting</a> "It's a f*cking goal, the ball is in the air, what the f*ck is that?!" at Marzano.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Greenwood found himself in a similar situation in January after swearing at an official - but had his suspension overturned after an appeal to the Spanish football authorities. According to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13154557/Real-Madrid-plan-use-Mason-Greenwood-defence-appeal-Jude-Bellinghams-red-card-asking-referee-f-ruled-minute-winner.html" target="_blank">Mail Online</a>, Los Blancos are counting on using Greenwood's successful overturn as evidence for avoiding a ban for their star man.

THE EXPLANATION

Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/jude-bellingham-carlo-ancelotti-over-valencia-red-card-real-madrid/blt68aa886db389f1b3" target="_blank">defended Bellingham after his sending off</a>: "What to say, there is not much to say. Something unprecedented has happened. I think the game had to end when Valencia had possession. Then Bellingham's red card bothered us because he didn't insult [the referee]. Bellingham told him 'it's a f*king goal', he didn't insult him. We will see what the referee writes in the act. The players are angry. We all have to calm down. We have an important game on Wednesday."

WHAT CARLO ANCELOTTI SAID

Los Blancos have vowed to appeal their star man's red card. Before then, he is expected to appear for the Spanish giants in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-vs-rb-leipzig-brahim-diaz-jude-bellingham/blt1f8653ca3336bda6" target="_blank">second leg of their Champions League knockout tie with RB Leipzig</a>.
