Carlo Ancelotti is having to put out fires left, right and centre, with his latest challenge Jude Bellingham.
Real Madrid came away from Celta Vigo as 2-1 winners, but the victory certainly wasn’t straightforward.
Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring in the 20th minute and shortly before half-time they had the opportunity to double their lead.
Vinicius Jr found space in the left of Celta’s box, and opted to go alone with Bellingham in space in the six-yard area for a tap-in.
The England midfielder was livid, throwing his arms around and kicking the ground, while he appeared to shout: “F*** off! Pass the ball!”
Madrid would soon concede an equaliser after the break, but Vinicius would make amends by scoring the winner and securing the three points.
Ancelotti was then asked about Bellingham’s outburst post-match and insisted it was a positive.
“I didn’t see the scene but if it really happened, it means he has balls, character and that’s good,” he said.
“But everything is calm, after the match, they were talking together, they were laughing. They have no problem.”
