Bellingham stood still when he lost the ball. |
At La Cartuja Stadium in Sevilla, coach Carlo Ancelotti and his team lost 2-3 to Barcelona, when Jules Kounde scored the decisive goal in the 116th minute. Shock after shock came to "Los Blancos" when they were just eliminated from the Champions League and are still at a disadvantage in the La Liga race.
Bellingham was sent off in the final minutes of the match, which angered Madrid fans. After the new video was shared by La Casa , the wave of criticism against the English midfielder increased.
The video shows Bellingham losing possession in midfield, with his pass intercepted by Pau Cubarsi and the ball falling to Pedri. Instead of rushing after it, Bellingham paused for a moment with his head in his hands, while Pedri passed the ball to his teammate further up the pitch.
Pedri then ran past Bellingham and received a pass before firing a shot from just outside the area.
Bellingham made absolutely no defensive action and was nowhere in sight when the ball went in. "Bellingham lost the ball and stood still, while Pedri passed the ball, ran past and scored," La Casa wrote.
Pedri made the pass and then rushed forward to score, while Bellingham was still walking leisurely in the middle of the field. |
Bellingham's move angered many fans. "I'm a Bellingham fan but I don't accept this image", "This sums up Real's problem perfectly. Can't play football with Mbappe, Vinicius, Bellingham not dropping back to defend", "Shameful"... are common reactions from fans.
The moment Bellingham stood still watching the ball clearly said a lot about Real. The attack played superficially, lacking determination at important moments. Real's possession of many attacking players also made the squad unbalanced.
Real's image was further tarnished when the players lost their composure. Antonio Rudiger tried to vent his anger on the referee and left a negative image with a red card. Real failed to show the strength and determination that fans expected.
3 yellow cards and 2 red cards are what Real received after the final of the Spanish King's Cup. With being eliminated from the Champions League and losing to Barcelona in La Liga, "Los Blancos" are facing the risk of going empty-handed this season.
In contrast, Barcelona completed the double of winning the Spanish Super Cup and the King's Cup this season and are on their way to conquering both La Liga and the Champions League.
