On Friday, it was reported that Real Madrid had lost a second appeal against Jude Bellingham's controversial red card against Valencia last weekend. The England midfielder was sent off by referee Jesus Gil Manzano for allegedly approaching him aggressively over the decision to end the match a second before heading home what would have been the winning goal.
Despite this, Real Madrid have not given up their efforts to have Bellingham available for their next two La Liga matches, which are against Celta Vigo and Osasuna. The Athletic have reported that the matter has now been referred to the Tribunal Administrativo del Deporte (TAD) in Spain.
The Competition Committee of the Spanish Football Federation, which dealt Real Madrid the first two appeals, they considered that there was insufficient evidence to cancel the suspension given to Bellingham, but Los Blancos will hope that the TAD will see things differently, because they desperately hope to have him available for their upcoming games.
