The controversial Osasuna vs. Real Madrid match (1-1) on Saturday continues to make headlines, particularly following Jude Bellingham’s red card.

Referee José Luis Munuera Montero faced immense backlash, including insults and even death threats, leading La Liga to dismiss him from officiating upcoming matches.

Now, UEFA has followed suit. According to Marca, the European football governing body has decided to sideline the Spanish referee for the time being, mirroring La Liga’s stance. Munuera Montero, 41, has only officiated one European match this season, a UEFA Conference League third-round clash between Belgian side Gent and Denmark’s Silkeborg (3-2 after extra time).
