Madrid, May 17: David Beckham may have played his last game in Spain, following his dramatic sending-off in Murcia yesterday.
The England captain was sent off for insulting the linesman in his rough Spanish in the 2-0 defeat which confirms Real's spring meltdown.
This is the first time ever in their glittering history that Real have lost four consecutive league matches. The latest defeat pulls them down to third in ''La Liga'', and probably means that they will have to play in the Champions League preliminary round.
But will Beckham still be wearing the famous white shirt in August? there is actually a good chance that he will not play for Real again.
He will be suspended, of course, for the final league match, at home to Real Sociedad next Sunday, when Real need a miracle to finish second.



Then he could be returning to the Premier League. It is common knowledge that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has offered almost 200 million euros for Beckham, Ronaldo, Luis Figo and Roberto Carlos.



According to Madrid sports daily Marca, Real president Florentino Perez would be pleased to make such a killing for four over-paid, under-achieving ageing players.
