After Real Madrid's victory over Valencia, a scandal involving two of Madrid's stars erupted. Bellingham and Rudiger are accused of assaulting stadium staff.
The incident occurred during the halftime of the La Liga match on 7 November. According to Spanish journalist Nacho Sanchez, the clash could have serious consequences for both players.
What sparked the altercation involving Real Madrid's stars
The match between Real Madrid and Valencia ended with a Madrid win by a score of 3:0. Yet after the game, attention was drawn not only to the guests' convincing triumph but also to events unfolding in the stadium's backstage areas at the Mestalya stadium.
As the journalist reports, the conflict began after a controversial refereeing decision before Valencia's first goal by Federico Valverde. The players and Valencia's coaching staff representatives were angry at the referee's actions and started to voice their complaints.
The situation quickly got out of control. Security staff and police had to become involved. According to the journalist, Jude Bellingham and Antonio Rudiger also took part in the confrontation.
Bellingham and Rudiger face long bans
Sanchez claims the English midfielder hit one of the security staff, and the German defender hit another. Valencia allegedly has video footage showing Rudiger striking a security officer.
It is reported that guards informed the referee about both incidents. At the same time, the official meeting protocol mentions only the incident involving Valencia's sporting director Braulio Vasquez. The document does not refer to possible assaults by Real Madrid players.
The situation could now escalate significantly. If the episodes receive official status and are properly documented, Bellingham and Rudiger face long suspensions.
For reference, during one of the scuffles in this match, Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin also intervened, sitting on the bench. He received a yellow card for excessive emotion.
