The Merengues maintained the pressure on Barcelona for the title in Liga thanks to a 1-0 victory in the Basque Country, thanks to the goal of Eduardo Camavonga in the first period.
However, the main subject of discussion was Mbappé's first red card in Spain, following an reckless fault on Antonio Blanco just before the break.
Kylian Mbappé is in full storm
After verification of the Var, Mbappé was expelled by referee Juan Martinez Munuera, while the visiting team continued to fight in inferiority in Vitoria.
Images taken at Estadio Mendizorroza after the match show Mbappé seeking to apologize to Blanco for the incident, the Alavés player seeming to accept it.
Real Madrid is now awaiting news from La Liga and RFEF concerning the suspension of Mbappé, but it will be available for the return quarter of the UEFA Champions League against Arsenal in the middle of the week.
According to El Mundo, Mbappé will be suspended two games, according to information from Martinez Munuera, who says that Mbappé “tried to take the ball”.
This behavior should not be considered violent and he should be absent from two championship games, with championship meetings against the Athletic Club and Getafe to come.
Supporters worried to see Mbappé miss the King Cup final against Barcelona on April 26 saw their fears peaceful thanks to the RFEF suspension rules.
Unless the suspension of Mbappé is brought to four or more games – reserved for the most serious offenses – it will not be able to apply to the King's Cup matches.
A firm update could arrive before the match against Arsenal, but Mbappé is on the right track for a 10-day break before facing the Blaugrana during their last confrontation in Seville later this month.
