On Tuesday, the disciplinary committee of the Spanish Football Federation was very mild with Kylian Mbappé. For his sole on Antonio Blanco's tibia last Sunday against Alavés en Liga, the Real Madrid striker only received a single suspension match.
Bondy's native will therefore miss the match against Athletic Bilbao, scheduled for Sunday, April 20 at 8 p.m. on Sunday, on the 32nd day of the Spanish championship. The former Paris Saint-Germain player will however be able to take part in the Clasico against FC Barcelona, in the King's Cup final, six days later.
The Catalan media is very reassembled to the subject of this low sanction. Mundo Deportivo even talks about “Scandal”. “The three members of the disciplinary body notably based their opinion on the report of the referee Soto Grado, who indicated that the French striker had been expelled 'for having plunged with his foot at the level of an opponent, while he was fighting for the ball, using excessive force”can we read in the columns of Spanish sports daily.
Mbappé spared but expected at the turn
Sport, another Catalan publication, abounds in the same direction by evoking “A very minor sanction given the severity of Mbappé's gesture”. For his part,
ESPORTIU underline that “The disciplinary committee could have sanctioned Mbappé with a sentence between one and three matches, and opted for the lightest sanction”.
This Wednesday evening, Kylian Mbappé will be present on the lawn of Bernabéu, for the quarter -final return of the Champions League against Arsenal. Widely beaten in the outward journey (3-0), Carlo Ancelotti's men are condemned to the feat to reach the last square of the prestigious competition.
