Huge scandal with the Bellingham goal: Nothing like this has ever happened before: referee blows his whistle while Real Madrid scores the winning goal
Jude Bellingham scores the supposed victory for Real Madrid in added time – but the goal doesn’t count. The ex-Dortmunder protests and sees the red card. The anger is great.
Carlo Ancelotti had never experienced anything like that. “Something unprecedented has happened. This has never happened to me and there is nothing more to add. I think he made a mistake,” said the coach after Real Madrid’s 2-2 (1-2) draw at Valencia FC.
The Spanish record champions thought they were winners after a header from Jude Bellingham in long added time.
Referee whistles off Real’s winning goal – Bellingham sees red
But the goal didn’t count because referee Jesús Gil Manzano blew the whistle while the cross was being hit. Bellingham protested violently and was shown a red card.
The crazy scene can be seen here in the X-Video:
“We were annoyed about Bellingham’s red card because he didn’t say anything offensive. It was disappointment. He said ‘fucking goal’ and that’s the truth,” said the 64-year-old Ancelotti. “We’re totally pissed.”
Real protested against the sending off. “Let’s see what the referee writes in the minutes.” According to Spanish media, Bellingham said: “Damn it, that’s a goal! The ball is in the air. What the hell is that?”
Real remain leaders with 66 points ahead of FC Girona, who, like third-placed FC Barcelona, only play on Sunday. On Wednesday, RB Leipzig will be visiting the Royals for the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, who won the first leg 1-0. “We have to return to normality because we have an important game,” Ancelotti said.
Ancelotti: “If he blows the whistle when the ball is cleared, fine…”
In Valencia, Hugo Duro (27th minute) and Roman Jaremtschuk (30th) gave the hosts a 2-0 lead within three minutes. Vinicius Junior, who had already been the target of racist insults in Valencia, reduced the deficit in stoppage time in the first half. The Real team with Antonio Rüdiger, Toni Kroos and the recovered Bellingham pressed for the equalizer after the break, which was then again provided by Vinicius Junior (76th).
The missed goal from former BVB star Bellingham was the final point of the 100-minute game. “If he whistles when the ball is cleared, fine, but he lets it continue and we had the opportunity,” Ancelotti said.
