Jude Bellingham allegedly calls Mason Greenwood 'rapist' after clashing with Man Utd loanee during Real Madrid win as Getafe launch complaint to La Liga

The England international midfielder was in La Liga action on Thursday against Real's city rivals from the Spanish capital. Carlo Ancelotti’s side prevailed 2-0 in that contest, courtesy of a brace from Joselu, and now sit top of the table.

Bellingham may have a case to answer on the back of that contest after being caught on camera supposedly aiming a snipe at Getafe forward Greenwood. The Madrid star is alleged to have branded the Manchester United loanee a “rapist” after a coming together near the touchline that resulted in a combative tackle being put in, with Cadena SER claiming that said comment was reported to La Liga's delegate in attendance after the final whistle.

According to Cadena SER, Getafe asked for the incident to be included in the match report and for the matter to be investigated. They are said to have requested that La Liga “take appropriate measures” if an offence did take place.

Former La Liga match official Iturralde Gonzalez told Cadena SER of what could happen from here: “You can be sanctioned if you really say that, but if Getafe wants to defend its player, what it can do is take the case to the Competition Committee. The League will do what it has to do, but they can appear at the Competition Committee with those images and accuse him of what he said.”

Greenwood – who saw allegations of attempted rape, assault and coercive control dropped in February 2023 – is on a season-long loan at Getafe during the 2023-24 campaign. Parent club Man Utd are set to make a decision on his long-term future in the summer transfer window.
