The recent incident involving Jude Bellingham and Mason Greenwood during Real Madrid's match against Getafe has caught the attention of the football world. The incident, which occurred during last week's game, has been referred to the Spanish Football Association for further investigation. It all started when Bellingham, who was playing for Real Madrid at the time, tackled Greenwood near the touchline. After the ball went out of play, Bellingham was seen saying something to Greenwood, but the pitch-side microphones were unable to pick up the exact words.
However, fans on social media were quick to speculate that Bellingham had uttered a derogatory word towards Greenwood, with some claiming that it was the word 'rapist'. This sparked a debate among football fans, and even an expert lip-reader claimed to be '97 percent confident' that Bellingham had indeed used that word. La Liga, the Spanish league, has now confirmed that they will also use a lip-reader to determine the exact word used by Bellingham.
The league has also reported the incident to the Royal Spanish Football Federation, as they do with all incidents that occur during a game. Each week, a list of incidents is sent to the Federation for further investigation and action. The Bellingham-Greenwood incident is one that will be closely looked at by the authorities. The official incident report stated that they had also received messages on social media regarding the incident and that it was necessary to investigate.
Bellingham could potentially face disciplinary proceedings from the RFEF, but without audio evidence, it may be difficult to prove what was said. Some fans have suggested that Bellingham may have said the word 'rubbish' instead, making it a challenging case to pursue. Getafe, the home team, have also lodged a complaint with the La Liga delegate present at the game and have asked the referee to include it in his match report.
This is not the only incident reported in the game, as there were also allegations of racist chanting towards Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr. by Getafe fans. The incident report stated that a recording was detected among the crowd, where fans were heard chanting intolerant words towards the player. The matter has also been referred to the RFEF for further investigation.
