"F*** you, man, F*** off!" Bellingham shouted.

Despite his display of dissent, Bellingham managed to evade a booking, but it is uncertain whether LaLiga will initiate a retrospective investigation. His latest outburst follows closely on the heels of a previous incident where he confronted a referee, calling him a piece of s*** during Real's decisive 4-1 victory over Espanyol.

Bellingham's evening took a disappointing turn when Atletico seized the lead, with Julian Alvarez converting a penalty following a foul by Aurelien Tchouameni. 

However, the hosts came out firing after the break, and Mbappe quickly levelled the playing field, ensuring they remained one point ahead of Atletico at the top of the table. Bellingham played a crucial role in the equaliser; his shot was blocked, but the ball fell perfectly for Mbappe to find the back of the net.
