Kylian Mbappé, the excuses that do not pass
The Spanish Football Federation ruled on the red card of Kylian Mbappé during the Liga match between Alavés and Real Madrid on Sunday, which ended in a 1-0 victory of the reigning champions in Mendizorroza.

This is a new news for the Carlo Ancelotti team.

Mbappé was expelled in the first half for gross faults on the Alavés midfielder Antonio Blanco. Referee Cesar Soto Grado first distributed a yellow card, but after a Var verification, he quickly removed the red card.

Mbappé has already apologized for this fault, and we were initially feared an absence of at least three games – and if that had been the case, he would have missed the King's Cup final against Barcelona, ​​which takes place in less than two weeks.

However, it quickly appeared that Mbappé would avoid this scenario, and the disciplinary committee of the Federation confirmed the good news for Real Madrid.

Kylian Mbappé sanctioned by the Spanish Federation

According to Diario As, the disciplinary committee confirmed that Mbappé was suspended for a match, valid for the Liga. It was judged that the Real Madrid superstar “Was violent during the match or accordingly direct of a fault”, Which means that his sanction is not more severe.

Consequently, Mbappé will miss this weekend's match against the Athletic Club at the Santiago Bernabéu. If it is not ideal that Real Madrid is deprived of its star striker for an important liga match against a team in search of qualification for the Champions League, it means that he could hold against Getafe next Wednesday, before the King Cup final against Barcelona on Saturday.

Real Madrid was able to sigh and can now focus fully on the preparation of the crucial quarter -return of the Champions League on Wednesday against Arsenal.
