Getafe ‘report’ Jude Bellingham to La Liga over alleged slur towards Mason Greenwood

Getafe ‘report ‘Jude Bellingham to La Liga over an alleged slur he said towards Mason Greenwood in Real Madrid’s win on Thursday.

Bellingham allegedly called Mason Greenwood a ‘rapist’, with footage doing the rounds on social media of the moment which could land him with a potential suspension should he be found to have said the alleged slur.

Getafe has lodged a complaint with La Liga officials against Jude Bellingham, accusing the English midfielder of making the reference to Mason Greenwood.

The incident took place when Bellingham put in a challenge on Greenwood near the touchline. After the ball went out of play, the TV camera captured Bellingham uttering something towards Greenwood, although the audio did not capture the exact words.

According to Cadena SER, Getafe approached the La Liga delegate after the final whistle and requested that Bellingham’s alleged derogatory remark be included in the official match report. This could potentially trigger an investigation into the incident.

If charged and found guilty by La Liga, Bellingham could be facing a suspension. However, it remains uncertain whether officials will take any action.

Thursday’s match was the first meeting between Bellingham and Greenwood in the Spanish top flight since Greenwood joined Getafe on loan in September.

When asked about Bellingham’s alleged slur towards Greenwood, former La Liga referee Iturralde Gonzalez told Spanish radio station Cadena SER: ‘You can be sanctioned if you really say that, but if Getafe wants to defend its player, what it can do is take the case to the Competition Committee.

‘The League will do what it has to do, but they can appear at the Competition Committee with those images and accuse him of what he said.’

Greenwood went out on loan to Getafe following the withdrawal of charges for attempted rape, controlling and coercive behavior, and assault causing actual bodily harm in February of last year.

Harriet Robson published images on her Instagram stories showing the physical injuries allegedly caused by the footballer, who was arrested and removed from his club while the case was resolved.

Manchester United conducted an internal investigation and ended up sending him out due to the negative reaction from fans, women’s support groups, and staff members.

Initially, Greenwood was expected to be part of United’s squad for this season, but the club reversed their decision after backlash to his return.

As a result, they are now reportedly willing to sell Greenwood in order to generate funds ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.

When asked about Bellingham’s alleged slur towards Greenwood in the game, ex-La Liga referee Iturralde Gonzalez told Spanish radio station Cadena SER: ‘You can be sanctioned if you really say that, but if Getafe wants to defend its player, what it can do is take the case to the Competition Committee.

‘The League will do what it has to do, but they can appear at the Competition Committee with those images and accuse him of what he said.’

Joselu netted the opening goal for Madrid in the 14th minute, and then he grabbed another 10 minutes into the second half.

This win for Carlo Ancelotti’s team allowed them to reclaim the top spot in La Liga, with a two-point lead over the unexpected contender Girona in second place.

Madrid will host their rivals Atletico on Sunday, followed by a highly anticipated match against Girona next Saturday.
