Mason Greenwood described as ‘great guy’ with ‘exemplary behaviour’ by Getafe boss Jose Bordalas after clash with Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham

The Real Madrid midfielder was caught on camera allegedly aiming a slur at his compatriot during their clash against Getafe in La Liga on Thursday. After the match, Greenwood's club made an official complaint to La Liga's representative in attendance and even hired a lip reader. Amid the controversy, the Azulones boss came to the defence of the English winger.

Speaking to reporters after the match, Bordalas said, "I know the same thing that you know. It's not up to me, it's the club, La Liga and the Federation that have to make an assessment about it. The only thing that I can say is that I ask for respect for Mason Greenwood because he is a great guy. He is a man who respects everyone and has exemplary behaviour."

As per the Daily Mail, a forensic lip reader is almost certain that Bellingham used the word "rapist" towards Greenwood after their on-field clash. If proven guilty, the England international could face punishment from La Liga.

Los Blancos, who are currently leading the title race, will be next seen in action against second-placed Girona in a crucial La Liga fixture on Saturday.
