“Fuck you!” or “Fuck off!” It didn’t matter what Jude Bellingham allegedly said to the referee during the La Liga match against Osasuna. Direct red card. Real Madrid refused to accept the verdict and filed an appeal with the Spanish Football Federation. Barcelona coach Hansi Flick believed this behaviour towards the referee of course qualifies for a red card. The German was right.
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick knows he is taking a risk when he speaks out about Real Madrid players’ behavior, there can easily be situations where Barcelona players are involved in similar situations, but for the German it doesn’t matter if it’s f… you or off.
“It’s disrespectful, but it’s not up to me to decide that situation. I tell my players not to waste time or energy talking to the referees. The referee’s decision has already been made. There is one player on the pitch who gets to discuss with the referee, and that is the captain,” Hansi Flick said according to Football Espana.
According to Marca and several Spanish media, the Spanish Football Federation has on Friday rejected Real Madrid’s complaint, thus a 2-match ban awaits Bellingham.
The judge’s and Flick’s conclusion stands.
