Jude Bellingham Comes Under Fire After Real Madrid Defeat
Earlier on Wednesday, Dec. 10, Real Madrid slumped to their second successive loss across all competitions at Santiago Bernabeu. Rodrygo put the hosts in front in the 28th minute, while Nico O’Reilly scored the equalizer for the visitors seven minutes later.
However, Los Blancos conceded a penalty in the 42nd minute of the continental match after Antonio Rüdiger fouled Haaland inside his penalty box. Just before Haaland’s run-up for his penalty, Bellingham tried to pull the Manchester City striker’s hair.
One fan posted a clip of the aforementioned incident, writing on X: “Bellingham tried to pull Haaland’s hair before taking the penalty to destabilize him but Ruben Dias stopped him before he could do that. Disgusting behavior from Real Madrid players.”

Another soccer fan made an observation about Rúben Dias, commenting on X: “Ruben Dias showed leadership here. He knew they would try something to distract him and stayed around Erling to make sure none of that happens. That’s leadership qualities.”
