Following the Spanish Football Federation's recent decision to reject Real Madrid's appeal against Jude Bellingham's two-game suspension, the club has escalated the matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Bellingham received the suspension after being red-carded after the 2-2 draw against Valencia for protesting a disallowed goal at the final whistle.
The RFEF confirmed the ban, citing Bellingham's "attitudes of contempt or disregard towards referees, directors, or sports authorities." The player faces a €600 fine, while his club received a €700 fine. Despite Real Madrid's appeal, the Federation upheld the suspension.
Appealing to CAS for a red card incident is unusual, as CAS typically handles more significant matters like anti-doping breaches or financial regulations. Real Madrid's move suggests a strong commitment to challenging the suspension and seeking a fair resolution.
While CAS deliberates on Bellingham's case, it's acknowledged that the ruling won't come in time to overturn the current two-game suspension. Consequently, Bellingham will miss upcoming matches against Celta Vigo and Osasuna.
Will their current LaLiga form wobbly, it has to be seen if Real Madrid will be able to cope without Bellingham in their next two league games.
