Sunday evening's Madrid derby between Real Madrid and Atlético was particularly tense.

Although Real Madrid were reduced to ten men after Dean Huijsen was sent off, Los Blancos also saw several altercations break out on the pitch. According to the Daily Mail, Jude Bellingham lost his cool after a duel with Giuliano Simeone. The Englishman felt that he had been fouled and kicked while he was on the ground. He got back to his feet before heading straight towards the Argentine.

After a brief confrontation, Jude Bellingham reportedly said to him: “go fuck yourself, you prick!” The former Dortmund player expressed his anger to the referee, shouting: “two red cards, two, two!”

These incidents occurred during a match in which the English midfielder had already had an altercation with Cristian Romero in the first half, with the Argentine making an exaggerated crying gesture at him. It was another high-tension evening for Bellingham, whose highly competitive temperament had already been mentioned by Thomas Tuchel in the past.
