Jude Bellingham caught by pitchside microphones screaming very X-rated rant at LaLiga linesman in Madrid derby
JUDE BELLINGHAM was caught screaming a very X-rated rant by pitch-side mics during Real Madrid’s 1-1 derby draw with Atletico.
The England star unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade at a linesman as his side earned a point in the capital on Saturday night.
Tensions were high as superstars including Kylian Mbappe and Julian Alvarez traded blows in a thrilling match.
But with just 11 minutes on the clock, Real icon Bellingham was in furious form.
A ball went off for a throw-in, which both sides tried to claim.
The decision went the way of Atletico Madrid, which infuriated home supporters.
But nobody was angrier than Bellingham.
Turning to the linesman, he let rip with a very rude outburst that made it perfectly clear he disapproved of the throw-in decision.
Unfortunately for Bellingham, his rant took place right next to pitch-side mics.
And his message to the linesman was caught clearly for fans on TV to hear.
Bellingham shouted: “F**k you man! F**k off!”
Even though he swore at an official, the midfielder escaped any punishment.
That’s despite Mason Greenwood seeing red last season while at Getafe for appearing to tell a referee to “f**k off.”
The former Manchester United forward denied those words, instead claiming to say “don’t f**k with me.”
And his red card was eventually rescinded by LaLiga after an appeal.
Bellingham’s fiery incident saw shocked fans flock to social media.
One said: “I heard it and immediately came to X to read reactions.”
Another declared: “Class act.”
One noted: “He’ll be fined surely.”
Another added: “That’s not nice.”
Bellingham will have had even more reason to rage when Atletico took the lead.
Former Man City star Alvarez netted a penalty in the 35th minute to put the visitors ahead.
But Real regrouped after half time.
And the 50th minute saw French ace Mbappe hit the target to level things up.
Neither side could find an ultimate breakthrough though, and the points were shared as the game ended 1-1.
The result saw Real maintain their one-point lead over Atleti at the top of LaLiga.
But Barcelona have the chance to close to gap if they win their game in hand against Sevilla tomorrow.
