In the match against Osasuna, Bellingham said to the referee: "Fuck off." However, the referee thought he was saying "Fuck you" and sent Bellingham off.

At the time, Ronaldo talked about the different penalty standards of Premier League and La Liga referees. He said: "In England, the referee does not interpret 'fuck off' as offensive language, it is just a common expression, and in Spain, if you say it, you will be sent off."

During the interview, Ronaldo also mentioned that Spanish referees should be more tolerant when interpreting such expressions, which does not seem to have changed in the past few years.
