Did Jude Bellingham allegedly direct an offensive remark at Mason Greenwood during a match? This question was brought to light following Real Madrid’s 2-0 victory over Getafe, during which the English midfielder reportedly used the term ‘r*pist’ against the La Liga loanee. However, inside sources from Geta Azulones have conveyed that neither the player nor the club wishes to exacerbate the matter further.

Initially, La Liga received formal complaints regarding the said incident from Getafe itself, which prompted an intriguing course of action. The officials hired a professional lip reader to potentially confirm whether these allegations held any merit. But current developments appear to be taking a different direction.
