Nagelsmann says Bellingham kick deserved red card
Bayern Munich head coach Julian Nagelsmann believes Jude Bellingham should have been sent off in the 2-2 Der Klassiker draw against Borussia Dortmund.
Nagelsmann's side went into a two-goal lead after strikes from Leon Goretzka and Leroy Sane, but Borussia Dortmund made a late comeback through a Youssoufa Moukoko strike and a last-minute Anthony Modeste header levelling for the host.
The game could have been different, however, had Bellingham been shown a red card for a challenge on Alphonso Davies that left the Bayern Munich defender with a suspected concussion.
Bellingham was not booked for the foul, where a high boot struck the head of the Canada international, and Nagelsmann believes the wrong action was taken – where a yellow would have been his second of the game, resulting in a dismissal.
"He hits him in the face. The rules are clear. There is a suspicion of a concussion. That's not surprising given the kick in the face," he told Sky.
"Four months ago, we had a training course. They told us that a kick in the face is a red."
