In a dramatic turn of events during Real Madrid's La Liga match against Osasuna, England midfielder Jude Bellingham was shown a direct red card. This occurred after Bellingham reportedly criticized referee José Luis Munuera's decision in the 40th minute while making gestures with his arms.

The incident followed previous protests from Real Madrid regarding what they perceived as partial refereeing favoring opponents. Madrid coach Carlo Aneclotti, already penalized with a yellow card for his expressions of discontent over an unpunished potential handball by an Osasuna defender, witnessed the dismissal of his player.

Real Madrid was leading 1-0, courtesy of Kylian Mbappé's goal, when the controversy erupted. The sequence underscored mounting tensions over refereeing in Madrid's recent fixtures, with a previously heated dispute over calls favoring Espanyol in a recent defeat.
