Some people have criticised Bellingham for his comments, but German legend Matthaus has backed the young midfielder - suggesting that emotions will have been high following the Der Klassiker defeat.
Writing for Sky Sport Deutschland, Matthaus said: "Yes, Jude Bellingham's words were out of place. Today, he might not say the same thing.
"But I can understand his frustration and anger right after the game is over. The adrenaline and emotions are very difficult to control when losing such an important game to controversial decisions. But you don't have to overdo it.
