Jude Bellingham at risk of a BAN after repeating x-rated gesture that earned him suspended sentence while playing for England

Jude Bellingham could have landed himself in hot water following a gesture he made after Sunday's El Clasico.

Bellingham played a starring role as Real Madrid won a typically heated encounter 2-1, with the English midfielder assisting Kylian Mbappe's opener before he put his side back ahead after Fermin Lopez had equalised. 

However, after full time, as Real's players began to celebrate, Bellingham gestured towards his crotch and stuck his tongue out.

It was the same stunt that saw him punished by UEFA last year during Euro 2024.

Back then, it came when he had netted a superb equaliser in England's 2-1 win over Slovakia in the last-16 stage.

Bellingham was subsequently fined £25,400 and handed a suspended one-match ban, a punishment that expired this summer.

At the time, Bellingham had attempt to defend himself as he said: 'An inside joke gesture towards some close friends who were at the game. Nothing but respect for how that Slovakia team played tonight.'

That punishment was handed down by UEFA, and the European football governing body would not have jurisdiction over LaLiga matches, so it remains to be seen if either the Spanish top flight, or the country's FA, take action. 

Back in 2019, Gareth Bale wasn't punished despite making a 'corte de mangas' gesture towards Atletico Madrid fans, something that is considered offensive, which may give encouragement to Bellingham that he will escape without a ban.

Bellingham's actions came after a fiery El Clasico which descended into chaos towards the end of the game. 

In the 10th minute of stoppage time Barcelona midfielder Pedri lost control of the ball and caught Aurelien Tchouameni late with a lunge, and the Spaniard was given a second yellow card.

This caused a major flashpoint as players and staff members on both sides clashed on the touchline and Real boss Xabi Alonso was forced to hold some of his stars back.

Eder Militao and back-up keeper Andriy Lunin were booked, but second later things kicked off again when referee Cesar Soto Grado blew his full-time whistle.  

Dani Carvajal appeared to confront Barcelona star Lamine Yamal following his barbed comments in the run-up to the clash, when the 18-year-old compared Real to a team that 'robs, complains, and does things', something that didn't go down well in the Spanish capital.

Carvajal seemed to be making a talking gesture with his hands and Yamal, who was saying something back, attempted to approach the veteran full back but was restrained by Edouardo Camavinga. 

Several players then piled in, with Thibaut Courtois pushing Yamal away and pointing his fingers at him.

The wonderkid was escorted off the pitch by security but not before Vinicius Jnr tried to challenge him, although the Brazilian was held back. 

Several other players from both sides continued to jostle on the pitch following the dramatic encounter, which saw Real go five points clear of their rivals at the top of the LaLiga table. 

Bellingham then later joined in on the act as he posted on Instagram after the game and added the caption: 'Talk is cheap. HALA MADRID ALWAYS!!!,' in a clear reference to Yamal.
