A recent report has come to light that states that La Liga authorities will deploy a professional lip reader to decide whether Jude Bellingham called Mason Greenwood a ‘rap**t’ after they clashed on February 2, 2024. Following that, there have been a lot of reactions on social media at the moment.
One fan said, “It’s quite obvious he did already.” Another quirked, “He needs to be kicked out of the football world.” A third commented, “Ban him for 5 years.” A fourth added, “Bellingham should be penalized.”
Looking at the reactions, one thing is certain: certain fans across the soccer world are not happy with Bellingham’s remarks. However, further reports have said that neither Getafe nor Mason Greenwood want to add to the controversy with Jude Bellingham. The message from inside is that what happens on the pitch stays on the pitch.
One of the Lip readers revealed what Jude Bellingham really said.
A forensic lip-reader named Jeremy Freeman got into the matter between Bellingham and Mason Greenwood. Following careful observation of the clip, Freeman said, “I am 97 percent confident that the spoken word is “rap**t,” particularly when considering the context in which it was used.”
He further added, “The visual cues of the lips indicate the presence of the ‘R’ and ‘P’ sounds, and the word appears to end sharply. Additionally, the speaker seems to have a pronounced Brummie accent, which I factored into my interpretation.”

The Brummie accent comes from Bellingham’s origins. The English international was born and grew up in the city of Birmingham, England. And if found guilty of the offense, the Real Madrid midfielder could face severe punishment for disciplinary actions.
