Jude Bellingham was caught swearing at the referee during Real Madrid's shock 3-1 defeat by AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night. 

The loss was Madrid's second in Europe this season, leaving the reigning champions 17th in the league table, while they are already nine points behind Barcelona in LaLiga, albeit with a game in hand on their rivals.

Having lost the first El Clasico of the season 4-0 a little over a week ago, Madrid were torn apart by Milan on Tuesday, and have now conceded seven goals in their last two matches.

As things begin to crumble around Carlo Ancelotti and his Madrid side, tensions appear to be rising after Bellingham was reportedly caught out. 

In a video that appeared on X, the England international was caught on television cameras saying 'f*** you' and, according to Sport, it was aimed at Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic.

The outlet claim that Bellingham was not the only one to offer his thoughts to the officials - with Brazilian star Vinicius Jnr also caught speaking to the referee.

According to the report, Vinicius - who controversially missed out on the Ballon d'Or last week - said 'you're crazy' to Vincic multiple times. 

It was a frustrating night for both of the Madrid stars as they were subjected to their second defeat in a row. 

There is growing pressure on Los Blancos to pick up their form after a slow start to the campaign - with question marks growing over Bellingham's role in the side.

Trying to explain the struggles of Madrid's forwards, Thierry Henry analysed the relationship between the England star and Kylian Mbappe. 

'It's always Bellingham trying to make the run, trying to make the team play, running in behind, trying to break the line,' Henry told CBS Sports Golazo.

'I think there is a little frustration. Your nine isn't going, and your 10-ish is going. I know it can happen sometimes but not all the time. Every single time.

'I know he's not a number nine and that this maybe is not what he likes to do. Do you think he likes to make those runs, try and stretch the team? 

'He'll do it because he has to do it, because his desire speaks, his will speaks. 

'You don't win games like that. You don't win games with your 10 breaking the line, coming back, trying to bend his run, trying to defend, trying to go the other side. And then after, he gets substituted? 

'I would have been upset too - I saw him kicking a bottle. I would be upset also, of course. For me, this is not good enough and I don't think they are playing well as a team but on the ball also he (Mbappe) has to do way more.'
