"The two midfielders endured very different fortunes during the match. Bellingham emerged as Real Madrid's hero after scoring the decisive goal, while Pedri endured a nightmare ending, seeing red in the dying moments of the game. However, what truly grabbed attention was Bellingham's remark directed at Pedri, which many have described as disrespectful and unnecessary. The incident took place during the second half, when Pedri appealed to referee Cesar Soto Grado to show Bellingham a red card following a foul."
"The Real Madrid star, clearly frustrated by the call, allegedly responded with a sarcastic comment, "Not even with Negreira," he reportedly said. This is a remark referencing the controversial referee payment scandal that has been a sensitive topic for Barcelona in recent years. The sequence began in the 56th minute, when Bellingham, while breaking forward, extended his arm to shield the ball from Pedri."
