Football fans have been left convinced that Jude Bellingham aimed a vile slur at Mason Greenwood during Real Madrid's match against Getafe on Thursday.
Real cruised to a 2-0 win in the La Liga match but supporters believe a clip that has gone viral on social media shows Bellingham calling the Manchester United loanee a 'rapist'.
Charges of attempted rape and assault were dropped against Greenwood last February after he was initially charged in October 2022.
United considered reintegrating the striker into their squad last summer but performed a U-turn and sent him out on loan to Spain late in the window.

Greenwood made his 21st appearance of the season last night, starting against Real in a top-flight clash.
Real ran out 2-0 winners thanks to a goal in each half from striker Joselu.
But a major talking point from the match came following a tackle from Bellingham on Greenwood.
England sensation Bellingham, who joined Real from Borussia Dortmund for an initial £88.5million last summer, has had a stunning start to life in Spain.
He has 18 goals and eight assists in 27 matches in all competitions, cementing himself as one of the best young players in Europe.
But fans believe he was caught up in a hugely controversial moment on Thursday.
Bellingham tackled Greenwood, with the ball going out of play for a throw-in to the hosts.
TV cameras immediately cut to a close-up of the midfielder, where he muttered a word to himself.
Many supporters on social media believe that Bellingham said 'rapist' towards Greenwood.
One fan wrote on X: "Did Bellingham just call Greenwood rapist?"
While another put: "Bellingham calling Greenwood a rapist. Rough."
And another posted: "Jude Bellingham calling Greenwood a rapist. This is very unprofessional."
