Jude Bellingham's difficult season at Real Madrid has taken another surprising twist after the England midfielder was left out of Los Blancos' 2026 calendar.

It is claimed that Mark is “growing close” to another woman.

Tempers flared as Real Madrid battled past Getafe 1-0 in a stormy La Liga clash marked by dismissals, accusations, and drama.
