In a shocking turn of events, Jude Bellingham faces scrutiny from La Liga following allegations made by Getafe, accusing the English midfielder of directing an offensive term towards Mason Greenwood during Thursday’s match against Real Madrid.
The incident unfolded near the touchline during the encounter, which Real Madrid went on to win 2-0, and it involved a heated exchange between Bellingham and the Manchester United forward.
While television cameras captured the moment, the exact words uttered by Bellingham remain unclear due to audio limitations.
Post-match, Getafe reportedly approached the La Liga delegate present, requesting Bellingham’s alleged comment to be documented in the official match report.
Though the accusation against Bellingham remains unproven, the potential consequences loom large, with the former Borussia Dortmund star facing severe penalties if an investigation were to validate the claim.
The incident adds a layer of controversy to the career of Mason Greenwood, who, at 22, is currently on loan to Getafe from Manchester United.
Greenwood faced legal issues in October 2022 when he was arrested and charged with various offenses, including attempted rape, but those charges were later dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service.
