Jude Bellingham was sent off as Real Madrid missed the chance to move four points clear at the top of La Liga in a frustrating draw against Osasuna. He was shown a straight red in the 39th minute for foul and abusive language towards referee Jose Luis Munuera Montero.
France forward Kylian Mbappe had given Real the lead at Estadio El Sadar, latching on to Federico Valverde’s inch-perfect cross to fire home his 17th league goal of the season.
But Osasuna were given a lifeline in the 58th minute after Eduardo Camavinga was adjudged to have fouled Ante Budimir in the box – and the home striker equalised from the spot.
After the match, Bellingham insisted he had been expressing his frustration and not insulting the referee.
Hansi Flick’s Barcelona will leapfrog Real on goal difference if they beat Rayo Vallecano on Monday night.
