Footage emerges showing Jude Bellingham's other 'brutal insult' to referee who sent him off

Footage of another comment Jude Bellingham appeared to make to the referee who sent him off for dissent on Saturday has emerged on social media.

With Real Madrid 1-0 up against Osasuna through a strike from Kylian Mbappe, Bellingham was dismissed by referee Jose Luis Munuera Montero in the 39th minute.

Bellingham, who scored the winner against Manchester City on Tuesday was furious with a decision from the official and Montero believed his reaction was one of dissent towards him.

Footage from Spanish TV appeared to show the former Borussia Dortmund man first telling Montero, "I am talking to you with respect", but he then looked to say "F*** off" as he turned away.

Although he admitted to using an expletive, Bellingham has insisted he "never insulted the referee" and claims "it was an expression to myself".

Manager Carlo Ancelotti backed him - believing there was a misunderstanding between the player and the official.

"I think the referee did not understand Jude Bellingham’s English," Ancelotti said after the 1-1 draw, as per Fabrizio Romano. "He said f*ck off, not f*ck you… that’s way different. I won’t talk more about the referee as I want to be on the bench next week."

Cristiano Ronaldo has said before how officials in Spain react differently to the f-bomb being dropped, but Bellingham is renowned for using colourful language on the pitch.

He had an X-rated tirade at the linesman against Atletico Madrid and his first Real red card came against Valencia when he swore while protesting the referee blowing the whistle seconds before Los Blancos scored at the death.

But earlier this season, Bellingham appeared to insult referee Montero during a 4-1 victory over Espanyol in September at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Bellingham was booked in the game and in a video which did the rounds online, looked to have called Montero "a piece of s***."

Bellingham could be hit with huge suspension

Following an unsuccessful appeal for his outburst in the Valencia game last term, Bellingham was banned for two games.

But this time around, reports indicate a maximum punishment for this latest offence could result in a mammoth 12-game suspension depending on whether Bellingham's words are "interpreted as an insult or as a sign of disregard".

La Liga rules state: "Insulting, offending or using insulting terms or attitudes towards the main referee, assistants, fourth referee, directors or sports authorities, unless it constitutes a more serious offence, will be punished with a suspension of four to twelve matches."
