At the final whistle, French striker Kylian Mbappé immediately showed his frustration by heading towards the referee of the match, Francisco José Hernández Maeso.
The striker, who was coming out of a small controversy with the France team and did not score on Sunday evening, sought to express his annoyance. According to the Madrid daily
Acethe 2018 world champion — under the gaze of Achraf Hakimi, injured with PSG and present at the stadium — wanted to know why the referee had not granted more additional time, despite the eight minutes added. Result of his intervention: Kylian Mbappé received a yellow card after the end of the match.
A difficult period for Real
Real Madrid remains three games in a row without a victory (defeat against Liverpool in the Champions League, then draws against Rayo Vallecano and Elche). Mbappé did not score this Sunday, although he was a passer for Jude Bellingham’s equalizing goal. He was stopped several times by Elche goalkeeper Inaki Pena.
Real no longer wins
Madrid coach Xabi Alonso noted: “We had good momentum, today we had a string of results that didn’t suit us. We’re not happy because we still want to win, but there are still a lot of games left. » He insisted on the need for self-criticism while affirming that the team’s state of mind “continues to be good”. The last success for Xabi Alonso’s men dates back to November 1 against Valencia, where Mbappé scored a double.
