The Real Madrid midfielder faced off against the Manchester United-owned winger during the La Liga match against Getafe last Thursday. Throughout the game, the English internationals encountered each other, with a particular moment during a challenge causing controversy.

During the match, Bellingham was captured on camera apparently directing a derogatory remark towards Greenwood. Getafe reportedly asked for the incident to be documented in the post-match report compiled by referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea.

Since there is no audio evidence, proving a case against Bellingham will pose challenges. However, forensic lip-reader Jeremy Freeman has provided his analysis to the Daily Mail, stating, “After carefully analysing the clip, I am 97 per cent confident that the spoken word is ‘rapist’, particularly when considering the context in which it was used. The visual cues of the lips indicate the presence of the ‘R’ and ‘P’ sounds, and the word appears to end sharply. Additionally, the speaker seems to have a pronounced Brummie accent, which I factored into my interpretation. Given the clarity of these visual markers and the absence of any viable alternative interpretation, I am quite certain of this conclusion.”

The potential consequences for Bellingham regarding the alleged slur are yet to be determined. Greenwood, on loan from Premier League powerhouse United for the 2023-24 season in Spain, had faced allegations of attempted rape, assault, and coercive behavior, which were dropped in February 2023, allowing him to resume his professional career.
