Huge excitement about a referee decision in Spain!
Jude Bellingham (20) scores in the last minute (90+9) to give Real Madrid a 3-2 win at Valencia – at least that’s what everyone thinks for a brief moment. But referee Gil Manzano blew his whistle while the goal was being scored. As the cross sails into the box. One second before the impact in the Valencia goal. It remains 2:2.
The result: violent commotion that resulted in a red card for ex-BVB star Bellingham.

What happened?
With the score at 2-2, Real Madrid had another corner in the ninth minute of stoppage time (seven were indicated). This is initially clarified, but Dani Carvajal brings in another cross for Real from the edge of the penalty area.

Curious: Referee Manzano initially has the whistle to his mouth, but removes it again and waits again, only to whistle the game at the moment when Carvajal has brought the cross into the penalty area. Bellingham heads in for the supposed winning goal – too late!
Important to know: The final whistle always consists of two whistles – the second one only sounds at the moment the ball hits the net.
Unsurprisingly, the Real stars then stormed angrily at referee Manzano, but he didn’t let himself be dissuaded from his decision.

Goalscorer Bellingham in particular is angry – and also sees a red card because he is said to have insulted the referee. However, Real denies this. According to Spanish media and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Bellingham is said to have said: “Damn it, that’s a goal! The ball is in the air. What the hell is that?”
Real coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed this at the post-match press conference: “We don’t agree with Jude’s red card. He just told the referee: It’s a damn goal. He didn’t insult Gil Manzano. I think he made a mistake. Let’s see what he writes in the report.”
Ancelotti continued: “It was something unprecedented, it had never happened to me before. If he whistles when the ball is cleared, fine, but he lets it continue and we had the opportunity.”
Real remains first with 66 points, but their pursuers Girona can now reduce the gap to four points. In the game, Valencia took a 2-0 lead thanks to Hugo Duro (27th) and Roman Jaremtschuk (30th). Vincius Junior equalized with his two goals (45th + 5th and 76th).
Real doesn’t have much time to get angry. The Royals have to play again on Wednesday in the Champions League second leg of the round of 16 against Leipzig (9 p.m., DAZN and on bild.de in the live ticker/first leg 1-0 Real).
