Real Madrid fans fear Jude Bellingham could face UEFA punishment after 'X-rated comment to official' in Milan defeat

Jude Bellingham endured another difficult evening as Real Madrid were beaten by AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Defending champions Madrid were beaten 3-1 at the Bernabeu to continue their underwhelming start to the season.

Goals from Malick Thiaw, former Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata and Tijjani Reijnders secured a famous win for Milan, with the only highlight for Madrid coming via a penalty from Vinicius Jr early in the first half.

Bellingham once again struggled to make his mark and lost his temper after being substituted in the second half, kicking a bottle after being brought off by manager Carlo Ancelotti.

He has now gone 12 games without a goal this season, with his last strike for Madrid coming 176 days ago in a 5-0 win over Alaves in May.

The England international is under growing pressure in Spain and it's clearly impacting his mood on the pitch.

Footage has emerged of Bellingham reacting furiously to an offside decision shortly after the start of the second half against Milan.

In the clip, Bellingham is flagged offside before firing a wayward shot well over the bar. He then looks in the direction of the linesman before appearing to shout "f*** you". It's not clear if Bellingham was directing his comment to the official.

Footage of the incident has quickly circulated on social media, with some Real Madrid fans concerned the player could be handed retrospective punishment from UEFA for the outburst.

"Bellingham says 'f*** you' to the linesman, we'll see what the authorities do about it," posted one fan on X.

Another added: "Jude Bellingham swearing at the linesman for being flagged offside, wtf."

While a third wrote: "What a sore loser."

However, others were quick to defend Bellingham.

"Normal reaction if you've ever played a game, stop this agenda," wrote one Real Madrid fan.

While it is unlikely UEFA will decide to take further action against Bellingham over the incident, the outburst may concern Real Madrid supporters.

Defeat to Milan leaves the Spanish giants in 17^th place in the Champions League table, with Ancelotti's side claiming just six points from their opening four games in Europe this season.

They next face Osasuna in La Liga on Saturday, with their next match in the Champions League coming against in-form Liverpool on November 27 after the upcoming international break.
