Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham has hit out at his latest ban.

Bellingham has been slapped with a two-match suspension for abusing the ref after their draw at Valencia. Real are appealing against the ruling.

He told Marca: "I didn't say anything offensive and I didn't say anything different from what my teammates said.

"I think that sometimes, because I am new, they want to set an example with me.

"At the end of the day I have to take responsibility for my actions and I'm not proud, but I think two games for that is a bit ridiculous. But if it ends up like this, I have to accept my responsibility and so I will cheer from the stands."
