Because of the throw-in decision
Real star Bellingham insulted referee

With a draw against Al-Hilal, Real Madrid started a little disappointing into the club World Cup. Jude Bellingham breathed breath early.
The “royal” of Real Madrid had imagined it differently: at the start of the club World Cup, the eleven of coach Xabi Alonso, who at the same time made his debut as a real coach, did not get out of a 1-1 against Saudi club al-Hilal.
The Spaniards took the lead through Gonzalo García in the 34th minute, but only seven minutes later Rúben Neves equalized for the club from the desert state. On the other hand, Real no longer brought a late penalty in added time. Federico Valverde failed from the point to goalkeeper Bono.
Superstar Jude Bellingham showed his displeasure early in the game. In the 23rd minute, the Englishman blocked a ball from the former Bayern player João Cancelo. The ball rolled into the side and Bellingham was convinced that there must be a throw -in for his team, because in his opinion the ball had crashed into Cancelo’s leg again.
However, the line judge disagreed and indicated an throw-in for Al-Hilal. Bellingham did not taste that, who announced his anger about the decision with a loud “fuck off” (in German: “Pissens yourself”, editor’s note). His outbreak was so loud that he could be clearly heard over the microphones on the edge of the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
The DAZN commentators Freddy Harder and Sebastian Kneißl also immediately responded to the statement of Bellingham. Kneißl joked: “I think he would have liked to have a throw -in.”
The referee had either not heard the curse or did grace. There was no punishment for the 21-year-old.
