Jude Bellingham was sent off with a red card for abusing the referee in this round of La Liga.
According to statistics from Marca, Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham, the two most valuable players in the Real Madrid squad, have become frequent offenders of suspensions in the past two years.
Marca pointed out that Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham are now facing similar problems. As attacking players, they have received too many penalties. In the past one - and - a - half seasons, they have created a total of 116 goals and assists. However, during the same period, they were shown a total of 38 yellow cards and 3 red cards in various competitions.
So far this season, Vinícius Júnior has missed 4 games due to disciplinary reasons, and now Bellingham may be suspended for 2 games. As a result, in the past one - and - a - half seasons, the two will miss 10 games due to various penalties, an average of 5 games per person.
Regardless of whether these figures are controversial, Carlo Ancelotti is worried about one issue. He believes that two players like Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior should not miss so many games for such reasons.
This season, Bellingham has received 7 yellow cards and 1 red card and is on the verge of suspension in the UEFA Champions League. Vinícius Júnior's situation is even more remarkable. He has accumulated 11 yellow cards and 1 red card, resulting in his absence from 4 games.
