Fans claim spotting Bellingham muttering shocking 'rapist' insult to Greenwood

Real Madrid's routine derby victory over Getafe on Thursday night was notable for claims by fans that Jude Bellingham aimed a shocking insult at Mason Greenwood.

Greenwood departed Manchester United on loan last summer after reaching a mutual agreement with the club that it was best for him to recommence his career elsewhere after he was arrested on suspicion of a number of charges, including attempted rape, in January 2022.

The Crown Prosecution Service subsequently dropped the charges in February 2023, but Greenwood was sent out on loan to Getafe and he has made a positive start to life in Spain.

Though, that pales in comparison to the impact Bellingham has had since switching from Borussia Dortmund. Thursday's clash pitted the two England internationals against one another and according to some viewers, it produced unsavory scenes.

After completing a crunching tackle on the 22-year-old, the camera focused on Bellingham, who some fans believed muttered the word 'rapist' in the direction of the Getafe forward.

Madrid had taken the lead in the 14th minute through Joselu before the former Stoke City forward doubled his tally 10 minutes into the second half.

Carlo Ancelotti's side's victory took them back to the top of LaLiga, two points ahead of surprise package Girona in second.

Madrid welcome cross-town rivals Atletico on Sunday before a top of the table clash against the Catalan club next Saturday.
