Jude Bellingham’s season with Real Madrid has taken an unfortunate turn, as he will miss the final La Liga game due to a yellow card received during the recent match against Sevilla. This booking, issued in the 65th minute for a challenge near the Sevilla box, triggered a one-match suspension after he reached the five-card limit.
Bellingham voiced his disagreement with the referee’s decision, believing the challenge did not merit a booking. His absence will be felt as the season concludes at Santiago Bernabeu against Real Sociedad, particularly as it coincides with Carlo Ancelotti’s departure as the club’s manager—a significant event for fans.
Throughout the season, Bellingham has been instrumental for Real Madrid despite playing through a long-standing shoulder injury. With his La Liga commitments now over, he can shift his focus to upcoming international duties, including matches for England against Andorra and Senegal. He will also be preparing to participate in the Club World Cup, which is right around the corner.
While missing the season finale is disappointing, this unplanned break may offer Bellingham some essential recovery time leading into a busy summer. Real Madrid supporters will undoubtedly feel his absence in the last match, but there is much to look forward to for the talented midfielder in the upcoming international season and club competitions.
