Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham repeated his apology to his teammates after his expulsion against Osasuna, in a match that ended in a 1-1 draw and gave a golden opportunity for Barcelona to be equal with him at the top of the Spanish League.

Billingham was expelled before the end of the first half, after an interview with the referee Jose Luis Monueria Montero, as the ruling believed that he insulted him in an English expression means "curse on you."

But Belingham confirmed that he uttered a similar phrase that means "stranger to my face", which does not constitute an insult in his country, after the ruling said to him "Shut up" because of his demand for a penalty.

Bellingham adhered to his position, in a message via "Instagram", stressing that the ruling offended his understanding due to the wrong translation.

Bellingham pledged a strong response against Manchester City in "Santiago Bernabeu", in the second leg of the Champions League final, saying: "We meet Wednesday in our home."

Billingham scored a goal in the deadly time, to lead Real Madrid to win 2-3 back, in the first victory of the European champion at the "Etihad" stadium.
