Following the match, tensions rose, with some Real Madrid players approaching the referee, Lamine Yamal, to discuss a previous incident. Bellingham also made a gesture, sticking out his tongue and pointing to his crotch, in front of the crowd.

This behavior may result in a ban, as Bellingham previously made a similar gesture at the Euro 2024 tournament, for which he received a £25,000 fine and a suspended one-match ban.
