England and Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham will miss two games and also pay 600 euro fine after his row with the match referee in their 2-2 draw against Valencia.
Bellingham was given a red card after he felt unhappy with the cancellation of his stoppage time goal by referee Gil Manzano in last Saturday’s La Liga fixture. But referee Gil Manzano had blown the full-time whistle as the cross was delivered.
The referee wrote in his report Bellingham screamed “It’s a fucking goal!” after the goal was ruled off.
The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) said Bellingham showed “contempt or disregard” towards Manzano when Real players and staff surrounded him.
Real appealed against Bellingham’s red card but the RFEF disciplinary committee dismissed their argument that the referee had made an “error”.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti said after the incident: “We were annoyed by Bellingham’s red card because he didn’t say anything insulting. It was frustration.”
Real’s leading scorer this season with 16 league goals, Bellingham will miss the games against Celta Vigo on Sunday and Osasuna on 16 March.
He will be available to return at Athletic Bilbao on 31 March following the international break.
England play friendlies against Brazil on 23 March and Belgium on 26 March.
Real are seven points clear at the top of La Liga and hold a 1-0 advantage over Leipzig going into the second leg at the Bernabeu.
