Jude Bellingham is AGAIN caught in x-rated rant at an official - just days after Thomas Tuchel admitted his own mother is REPULSED by Real Madrid star's on-pitch behaviour
Jude Bellingham rudely barked and swore at an official yet again in Real Madrid 's Club World Cup opener against Al-Hilal.
The 21-year-old shouted an offensive term at the linesman amid increased focus on his sometimes brash behaviour after England boss Thomas Tuchel admitted his mother finds his on-field demeanour 'repulsive'.
The midfielder berated the linesman after Joao Cancelo kicked the ball against him and out for a throw for the Saudi Pro League side.
But the England star was adamant that it took another nick off the former Manchester City defender, leading him to shout 'our ball, our ball, f*** off' at the linesman.
Bellingham admonished the offical during a hard-fought draw with Ai-Hilal in Madrid's Club World Cup match at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
Real have won the Club World Cup on six occasions, mostly recently in 2022, and Gonzalo Garcia struck first after 34 minutes to give the Spanish giants the lead.

But Los Blancos, who won the competition three years in a row from 2016 to 2018, were pegged back when former Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves struck in an equalising penalty late in the second half.
Federico Valverde then missed a stoppage time penalty, given after a VAR review, to prevent Madrid claiming a win on Trent Alexander-Arnold's debut and Xabi Alonso's first game in charge.
Bellingham grew into the contest as it went on but he was unable to make the difference.
His outburst at the linesman came just eight days after he was panned for kicking a water cooler in rage following the Three Lions' defeat by Senegal.
He chased down the fourth official and booted a water cooler on full-time at the City Ground after his late goal was disallowed.
In an extraordinary interview, Tuchel then revealed that his behaviour can intimidate team-mates because of his over-aggressive manner and have a negative impact on the team.
Bellingham's attitude towards team-mates was also questioned at last summer's Euros.
He was also handed a two-match suspension for swearing at a referee in a 1-1 La Liga draw with Osasuna in February.
He was dismissed by referee Jose Luis Munuera Montero for foul and abusive language but the Englishman was adamant that he had not been abusive towards the referee, who accused the midfielder of telling him: 'F*** you'.
Bellingham's account was that he had said: 'f*** off', but that these words were aimed at himself in frustration, rather than at the match official.
The former Borussia Dortmund player was also caught swearing at the referee during Madrid's 3-1 defeat by AC Milan in the Champions League in November.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid take on Mexican side Pachuca and Red Bull Salzburg in theier next group fixtures in the US.

Cole Palmer makes surprise admission as he explains shirt number change
Chelsea star Cole Palmer made a surprise revelation while explaining his decision to switch to the No.10 shirt. Following their opening win against Los Angeles FC, Chelsea continue their Club World Cup campaign on Friday night against Flamengo. The Premier League club take on the Brazilian giants, whose side includes former Chelsea and Arsenal star Jorginho, in Philadelphia at 7pm UK time. Ahead of the tournament, it was announced that Palmer would be switching his shirt number from 20 to 10, befitting of his status as arguably the team's best player. The No.10 shirt had been worn by Mykhailo Mudryk since January 2023, with the Ukraine international not given a replacement number amid his suspension for failing a doping test last year. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. Since the announcement, Mudryk has been charged by the Football Association and could be banned from football for up to four years, with Enzo Maresca seemingly in the dark about his future at Stamford Bridge. The 24-year-old, nicknamed 'Misha' by his teammates, has denied knowingly taking any banned substances, explaining in a statement last November he was in 'complete shock' having 'not done anything wrong'. It is usually customary for players to seek permission from each other if they wish to take their squad number, but Palmer has revealed that he has not been in contact with his exiled teammate. 'I have not spoken to Misha yet, but I will when the time is right,' the England international told reporters ahead of the Flamengo clash. 'It is not really my place to get involved with him at the minute. I will speak to him. On Wednesday, June 18, a Football Associaton spokesman said: 'We can confirm that Mykhailo Mudryk has been charged with Anti-Doping Rule Violations alleging the presence and/or use of a prohibited substance, in terms of Regulations 3 and 4 of The FA's Anti-Doping Regulations. 'As this is an ongoing case, we are not in a position to comment further at this time.' 'I wore No.10 all my life growing up and I just like the number. More Trending 'Lionel Messi the big one, Wayne Rooney and players like that – it's an iconic number.' Palmer will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of successful Chelsea No.10s like Eden Hazard, Juan Mata and Joe Cole. Maresca also confirmed that he had no say in the matter, adding: 'Was I involved in this decision? No, no, I don't care about the numbers. 'It's a player matter. Is Cole good enough to wear the No10? Yes.' For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Club World Cup descends into chaos as French and Brazilian fans brawl in the stands in California
Football fans were left stunned when fans of Paris Saint-Germain and Brazilian side Botafogo were seen brawling in the stands during their Club World Cup match. The Champions League winners suffered a shock 1-0 defeat on Thursday, leaving their hopes of qualifying for the next round in the balance despite their 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid on matchday one. A first-half goal from Brazilian international Igor Jesus proved the difference between the reigning champions of Europe and South America at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. PSG were widely tipped as one of the hot favourites to win the new-look 32-team tournament after a stunning European campaign which culminated in their thumping 5-0 victory against Inter Milan in the Champions League final last month. They also hadn't lost in any competition since May 3 and Luis Enrique took the opportunity to rotate his side in California. Notably, Goncalo Ramos started at centre forward ahead of Ousmane Dembele, who remains out injured. The gamble, though, didn't pay off. But a dark cloud was cast over Botafogo's victory when their fans were seen throwing punches in the stands in California - though it is unclear what caused the melee. In a 58-second-long video shared on social media, a person in a Botafogo shirt could be seen throwing punches before more members of the crowd became involved. Someone in a PSG shirt appeared to punch another supporter from behind, as a bundle of sorts ensued elsewhere in the stand, which had no individual seats - rather blocks of bench-like furniture. More people wearing shirts of the European champions then seemed to get involved, with one person in black appearing to cheer. There was a brief period of separation with no punches thrown in the two groups, before someone in a Botafogo strip approached a PSG fan and fell to the floor as more punches were thrown. The PSG supporter, who was wearing shorts and a bandana, was then ushered away by someone else wearing the same strip. That was until they were caught up in another scrap, which saw a Botafogo supporter throw a punch and the other fan then turn around to get involved with shouting heard in the background. A number of other supporters then piled in, many falling over in the stands, with one PSG fan appearing to stomp on a supporter. The footage ends with people running in to separate the brawl and a group trying to help one fan, who was laying in between rows, up. The last time a Champions League holders lost to a South American side came back in 2012, when Corinthians stunned Chelsea in the Club World Cup final. To avoid a red-faced elimination, PSG must beat MLS outfit Seattle Sounders, who have been knocked out of the tournament, in their last group match.
