WATCH: Viral clip fuels speculation on Jude Bellinghams R*PIST remark at Mason Greenwood

Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham has been charged by La Liga authorities, following a complaint by Getafe, for allegedly using a slur at English winger Mason Greenwood. The 20-year midfielder used the ‘r*pist’ remark for Greenwood.

The incident happened during Los Blancos’ match against Getafe, last night. Bellingham was a part of the side, which defeated Getafe, with a scoreline of 2-0. Forward Joselu scored a brace, as the win allowed the club to climb to the top spot on the La Liga table. The former Dortmund player was captured on camera uttering a two-word syllable towards Greenwood after a rough tackle near the touchline resulted in the ball going out of play.

Despite the audio equipment not picking up the exact word he used, Getafe registered a complaint against the midfielder. Post-match, Getafe urged the La Liga delegate to note Bellingham’s comment officially, triggering an investigation. The 20-year-old midfielder’s dig at Greenwood is linked to the ex-United player being arrested in 2022, over r*pe and sexual assault charges, with the cases being dropped later in 2023.

If found guilty of using the slur, Bellingham might face a long-term suspension from the game. He could also be slapped with a hefty fine. Whether La Liga authorities will take any specific action against the player remains uncertain.

Jude Bellingham avoids stepping on the Getafe crest!

English midfielder Jude Bellingham was praised by Real Madrid fans for his subtle attitude, as a recent video revealed him deliberately avoiding stepping on the Getafe crest engraved on the sidelines while exiting the pitch.

Jude Bellingham was seen carefully moving from the side of the logo, after Real’s win over their rivals. He was accompanied by goalkeeper, Andriy Lunin. Fans praised the 20-year-old midfielder’s modest gesture, taking a swipe at Barcelona supporters for making him a target. Los Blancos’ fans attributed the love that the player received from supporters, as a reason for the Blaugrana fans to criticize the Englishman.

Jude Bellingham has been impressive this season, scoring 18 goals and assisting eight times in all competitions for Real Madrid. Additionally, he has secured the Kopa Trophy and the Golden Boy awards, adding to his trophy collection.
