A new report has revealed how Real Madrid's dressing room reacted to Jude Bellingham's sending off during the 1-1 draw against Osasuna in La Liga.

Real dropped points for the third consecutive game in the league after Ante Budimir's 58th-minute penalty cancelled out Kylian Mbappe's early opener.

But Los Blancos had to play the final hour with 10 players after Bellingham was shown a straight red card by referee Jose Luis Munuera Montero.

Bellingham is alleged to have shouted an expletive towards the referee, which prompted the red card decision.

The official's report, according to Spanish outlet Marca, claims that Bellingham said the words 'F**k you' directly to him, though Bellingham claims he instead said 'F**k off' to himself rather than at the referee.

It is claimed that the interpretation of Bellingham's words will be crucial in terms of whether he will receive an additional sanction, as he could receive a ban of between four to 12 matches if it is deemed as an insult or offensive term towards the referee.

Taking to Instagram, the England midfielder stated: "Enough said about the misunderstanding. Just wanted to apologise again for leaving my team-mates in a such a tough position. See you on Wednesday at home."

Now, a new report has indicated how the Real Madrid dressing room reacted to Bellingham's sending off after full-time.

According to Spanish outlet AS, the mood was said to be 'intense' towards the match officials, with those in the dressing room said to be furious with La Liga.

It is even claimed that there was a 'deep disaffection' with the league's officials, amid Real president Florentino Perez complaining about officiating standards earlier this month.

New Spanish FA president Rafael Louzan told the 'El Cafelito' podcast that Perez has previously raised the idea of having English referees in La Liga.

Louzan said (via ESPN): "Florentino said to me once that he would bring English referees to referee.

"I said, 'Let's see how we do that!' It's not just now, he's said it to me various times ... But I believe in the work of [the current La Liga] referees."
