Jude Bellingham Receives Two-Match Suspension Following Referee Incident

The Real Madrid star denies insulting the referee, while the official faces scrutiny over alleged business ties.

Jude Bellingham has been suspended for two La Liga matches after being sent off for allegedly using abusive language toward referee José Luis Munuera during Real Madrid's 1-1 draw with Osasuna.
Bellingham and Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti claimed the incident was a misunderstanding, with Bellingham insisting he did not directly insult the referee.
The Spanish football federation (RFEF) announced the suspension and condemned social media threats against Munuera following the incident.
Munuera is under investigation by the RFEF after reports surfaced alleging his involvement in a company with potential business ties to football institutions, which he has denied.
Real Madrid plans to appeal the suspension, as the team faces key La Liga matches against Girona and Real Betis in a tight title race.
