Jude Bellingham's ban could be extended if Real Madrid's appeal is rejected by the Competition Committee

Real Madrid missed out on a memorable win over Valencia on Saturday night by just a second or two. Jude Bellingham headed home in the 99th minute, although referee Jesus Gil Manzano had already blown the full-time whistle when the ball ended up in the back of the net.

The Whites were furious about this, and especially Bellingham, who confronted Gil Manzano about his decision. The referee ended up showing a red card to the English midfielder for this reaction, which baffled Carlo Ancelotti.

Real Madrid intend to appeal Bellingham's red card, although for now at least, he will miss next weekend's game against Celta Vigo. However, if this appeal is rejected, he could miss 2-3 games, as Gil Manzano noted the 20-year-old for approaching him in an “aggressive way”, as per Brand.

Real Madrid could really do without Bellingham missing any games, so they desperately hope their appeal is successful. The result of this will come in the next few days.
