Wednesday, February 7, 2024 – The Spanish FA have been urged to investigate Jude Bellingham's alleged slur towards his fellow England footballer Mason Greenwood during Real Madrid's win over Getafe.
The clash between Bellingham and Greenwood is one of several
incidents reported by La Liga to the Royal Spanish Football
Federation (RFEF).
'It must also be reported that after the end of the match,
messages were detected through social media regarding a possible incident in
which visiting player Jude Bellingham allegedly insulted Mason Greenwood in
English,' the incident report noted.
Bellingham had landed a crunching tackle on the Getafe
player to force the ball out of play, and when footage of the incident
circulated on social media, fans believe they noticed the England international
mutter the word 'rapist' at the forward.
Following the incident at Getafe, a lip reader exclusively
told Mail Sport that the insult Bellingham used on Greenwood was in fact
'rapist'
After the clip went viral on social media, Getafe decided to
take action, asking the game's referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea to record
the alleged insult in his match report.
Doing so could yet subject Bellingham to a disciplinary
procedure from the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), although without audio,
it could be a hard case to prove.
Getafe have also reported the incident to the LaLiga
delegate present at Estadio Coliseum to record the alleged insult, although the
club has not levelled a formal complaint at Bellingham.
The incident report also noted alleged racist chanting
towards Vinicius Jr from Getafe fans on a recording on social media.
