After a nasty tackle on him, Jude Bellingham got into a heated argument with Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez.
Bellingham seemed to have settled in well at Real Madrid, making a great debut against AC Milan and scoring his first goal for the Spanish giants a few days later against Manchester United.
Following his acquisition from Dortmund, the 20-year-old became Madrid’s second most expensive signing ever at £88 million. He wasted little time in starting his goal-scoring account, netting just five minutes into his second game for the club.
However, it was not only his goal that drew attention, but also a contentious episode involving Martinez.
Martinez vs. Bellingham clash
Bellingham got a pass in midfield with his back to the goal during the game.
As Bellingham attempted to maneuver around Martinez and initiate an attack, the unyielding Argentine defender launched a violent and nasty challenge, knocking him down.
Martinez, known for his fiery playing style, appeared unapologetic about the tackle, which irritated the Englishman.
This resulted in a heated argument between the two players, followed by a brief scuffle until the referee interfered to separate them.
