“I touched the ball first!” Bellingham roared at the referee, his fury igniting disbelief after the denied penalty.

‘I touched the ball first’: Jude Bellingham protesting the referee after being denied penalty vs Bilbao

With the score still locked at 0-0 in the 88th minute, Jude Bellingham went down in the Athletic Bilbao box after an apparent foul from Unai Nunez, appealing for a penalty.

But the referee wasn’t convinced — not even after the English midfielder pleaded his case:

“I got the ball first,” Bellingham insisted.

Fortunately for Los Blancos, they still managed to find the winner, with Federico Valverde slotting it home in the 90+3′.
