The referee's report claimed the midfielder had said "f*ck you," while <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/what-did-jude-bellingham-say-red-card-f-ck-off-forensic-lip-reading-expert-real-madrid-star-throw-in-jose-luis-munuera-sent-him-off/blt8fcc17dc9085085d#cseaadce7d6c0df0b8" target="_self">Bellingham said after the game he had actually said "f*ck off."</a> Either way, it proved a costly sending off as Real Madrid dropped points and could be knocked off the top of the table if Barcelona beat Rayo Vallecano on Monday.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Bellingham is also now facing a ban, although <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jude-bellingham-could-be-saved-mason-greenwood-precedent-real-madrid-appeal-controversial-red-card/bltb80470dd7675c1a5#cscfdee2e5ef10e3c0" target="_blank">Real Madrid are hoping that can be avoided as former Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood</a> escaped a suspension for a similar offence while on loan with Getafe. Madrid certainly won't want to lose their England international to suspension as he remains a vital player for Carlo Ancelotti's side and key to their hopes of landing silverware this season. Bellingham, meanwhile, has now had his say on the incident and wants to move on from the "misunderstanding" with the match referee.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Bellingham posted on Instagram: "Enough said about the misunderstanding, just wanted to apologise again for leaving my teammates in such a tough position and understanding. See you on Wednesday at home."</p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt95447f4e6fee0234/Bellingham%20instagram.JPG?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt95447f4e6fee0234/Bellingham%20instagram.JPG?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt95447f4e6fee0234/Bellingham%20instagram.JPG?format=jpg" alt="Jude Bellingham Instagram" data-source="" data-copyright="Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blt95447f4e6fee0234;width:384;height:614"></picture><p></p>

WHAT BELLINGHAM SAID

<p>Bellingham and Real Madrid must now wait to discover if the 21-year-old will be banned for his outburst. In the meantime, he will be back in Champions League action in midweek when Real Madrid take on Manchester City in the second leg of their play-off tie. Bellingham scored the winner in the first leg as Madrid enjoyed a 3-2 victory at the Etihad Stadium.</p>
