Jude Bellingham thought he had scored a late winner for Real Madrid against Valencia only for the referee to cancel the goal, claiming he had blown the final whistle.

Real Madrid have now released a statement after Bellingham’s goal was controversially ruled out.

“An unprecedented referre decision by Gil Manzano stopped Real Madrid’s win against Valencia in Mestalla.

“With 2-2 on the scoreboard and in the last play of the match, Brahim crossed and Bellingham made it 2-3.

“But the referee annulled the goal by pointing out the end of the match when the pass was in the air.

“The league leaders deserved the three points but added only one in a match that they were down 2-0.

“Two goals from Vini Jr. tied the match, which was finally settled by Gil Manzano’s decision.”
