Jude Bellingham couldn’t believe what had happened in the match between Real Madrid and Valencia. During injury time, Brahim Diaz crossed the ball at 98 minutes and 40 seconds.
Then, it traveled directly to the head of the English star, who headed it to secure an impressive comeback for Carlo Ancelotti’s team after being 2-0 down at Mestalla.
However, referee Gil Manzano had already blown the final whistle just as Brahim’s cross came in. Immediately, he signaled that the goal didn’t count, and the final result stood at 2-2. Controversy ensued in La Liga.
