Real Madrid to appeal Bellingham's red card

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Saturday his side were "bothered" after midfielder Jude Bellingham was sent off after the controversial final whistle in the 2-2 La Liga draw at Valencia.
"What bothers us is the red card for Bellingham because he didn't say anything insulting. He was frustrated of course," said Ancelotti, adding that Bellingham had used a common English swearword when telling the referee it was a goal.
As a result, the Spanish giants will appeal the red card received by the English star in order to be able to count on him in the next key matches of the Spanish top-flight.
Madrid's second draw in three league games leaves the 35-time Spanish champions seven points clear of second-placed Girona, who head to lowly Mallorca on Sunday.
On Wednesday, Ancelotti's outfit welcome RB Leipzig in the Champions League last 16 second leg, with a 1-0 aggregate lead.
