Jude Bellingham, the talented young midfielder, has found himself in hot water as Getafe has reported him to La Liga officials for allegedly using a derogatory term towards Mason Greenwood during their match against Real Madrid. The incident occurred during Madrid's 2-0 victory, when Bellingham tackled Greenwood near the touchline. After the ball went out of play, the cameras caught Bellingham saying something to Greenwood, although the audio was unable to pick up the exact words.
According to reports from Cadena SER, Getafe has requested that Bellingham's alleged slur be included in the official match report, which could lead to an investigation into the incident. If found guilty, Bellingham could face disciplinary action from La Liga, potentially resulting in a suspension. However, it is unclear at this time if any action will be taken.
This was the first time Bellingham has faced Greenwood in the Spanish top flight since the Manchester United forward joined Getafe on loan in September. It's worth noting that Greenwood moved to Spain after United conducted an internal investigation and concluded that it was best for him to restart his career elsewhere following his arrest in January 2022 for attempted rape, controlling behavior, and assault. The charges were later dropped, but United faced backlash from supporters over the possibility of reintegrating Greenwood into the first team. As a result, it is now being reported that United may be willing to sell Greenwood to raise funds for the upcoming transfer window.
Former La Liga referee Iturralde Gonzalez weighed in on the situation, stating that Bellingham could face sanctions if the allegations are proven to be true. However, Getafe could also take the case to the Competition Committee in defense of their player. The League will ultimately make a decision, but Getafe has the option to present the footage to the Competition Committee and accuse Bellingham of what he allegedly said.
As the situation continues to unfold, fans and officials alike will be waiting to see if any further action will be taken regarding Bellingham's alleged slur towards Greenwood. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
