The English midfielder recalled the involvement in a match-fixing plot of the Borussia Dortmund-Bayern Munich referee as part of the complaint about his decisions. The DFB has fined him a payment of 40,000 euros.
Jude Bellingham exploded before the microphones after the defeat (2-3) in Der klassiker, where Felix Zwayer awarded a penalty in favor of the Bavarians by the hands of Mats Hummels and did not do the same in two actions in the other area. The 18-year-old did not bite his tongue and commented as follows:
“For me, it wasn’t a penalty. Hummels isn’t even looking at the ball. He’s struggling to get it and hits it. You can see a lot of those decisions in the game. But hey, you hit a referee who has already fixed a match before the Germany’s most important party, what are you waiting for? “
Given these statements, the Deutsche Fussball Bund (German Football Association), issued a statement through its president, Anton Nachreiner, where he stated: “The Control Committee will examine the statement of the Dortmund player, Jude Bellingham, for its relevance to sports criminal law.”
The footballer must pay 40,000 euros, if he does not appeal the decision, and will not have any sports penalty. It will be available on Saturday’s visit to VfL Bochum, corresponding to matchday 15 of the Bundesliga. Before, the black-yellows host Besiktas JK in what will be their last Champions League match of the season after being mathematically eliminated on the previous date.
