Jude Bellingham has received a two-match ban for his comments towards the referee during Real Madrid's 1-1 draw with Osasuna on Saturday.

The English player was given a straight red card in the first half after making remarks to referee Jose Luis Munuera Montero. The referee reported that Bellingham said "f*ck you" to him, but Bellingham denied it.

The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has now punished Bellingham with a two-game suspension for his "disrespectful attitude" towards Munuera Montero.

Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti backed up his player's claim that the red card was merely down to a misunderstanding and the Spanish side provided video evidence to support the argument.

Madrid initially asked for the card to be overturned, Cadena SER reports, but the Disciplinary Committee opted for a significantly shorter ban than they could have handed out.

"Taking into account the different factual circumstances invoked, it is appropriate to impose the sanction provided for in said precept in its minimum degree, of two games," the ruling said.
