La Liga announced the suspension of Jude Bellingham, midfielder for Real Madrid, for two matches due to his strong protest against the referee after receiving a red card following the 2-2 draw with Valencia last Saturday. The referee's report stated, "The English international displayed an aggressive attitude." In the ninth minute of injury time, Bellingham believed he had scored the winning goal with a close-range header but later realized that referee Jesús Gil Manzano had blown the final whistle before Luka Modrić delivered the cross. An angry Bellingham approached the referee to complain and received a direct red card. Real Madrid currently leads La Liga, seven points ahead of Girona.
