Tuesday, February 18, 2025 - Real Madrid are reportedly considering leaving LaLiga as their feud over refereeing standards after Jude Bellingham's recent sending-off.
England midfielder Bellingham was shown a red card by referee
Jose Luis Munuera Montero for foul and abusive language 39 minutes into their
draw with Osasuna.
The Spanish referee accused the former Birmingham
City wonderkid of shouting 'f*** you' in his direction, as Bellingham
vented his frustration.
Nevertheless, Bellingham's account of the scenario is different, with
the 21-year-old adamant that he said 'f*** off'. He also claimed that the
language used was aimed at himself in frustration, rather than at the match
official.
Now, Spanish outlet Sport has claimed that Los Blancos could
make a stunning move and join a different league in Europe, amid frustrations
over officiating in Spain.
The report claims that Madrid could look to join Serie
A, Ligue 1 or the Bundesliga,, ....... Italy, France, and
Germany's respective top divisions - to solve their issues.
However, any potential change of league for Madrid would first have to
be approved by FIFA and the respective league that they would ask to join. They
would also need approval from UEFA to change leagues.
Should they seriously look to move to another league, the outlet claims
that Madrid's brand and the high-level football they'd bring could serve as
major positives.

Madrid have been left incensed with recent officiating decisions in
their matches, with Bellingham's incident the latest in a long list that the
Spanish giants have drafted.
Earlier in the month, prior to Bellingham's sending off, Madrid
filed a complaint against the Royal Spanish Football Federation in regard to
'serious refereeing behaviour'.
