Kylian Mbappé left the Martínez Valero stadium very angry after Real Madrid’s draw against Elche (2-2), a result which slowed down the Madrilenians’ title race, now less comfortably in the lead after seeing their lead disappear by four points in two days. The French striker was particularly annoyed by the referee’s decision to whistle the end of the match at the end of the announced eight minutes, despite the home team wasting time. So much so that Mbappé strongly protested to Hernández Maeso, who warned him. In the report relayed by Defensa Centralthe judge of the party justified his card by explaining: “In the 90th minute, player Kylian Mbappé Lottin was booked for the following reason: for having openly protested a decision on my part after the end of the match, while we were still on the pitch. »
Mbappé’s frustration was not directed solely at the referee, however. Despite a generally influential performance, he failed to give his team victory and was unable to beat Iñaki Peña. He still avoided defeat for his team by delivering the decisive pass for Jude Bellingham’s equalizer. But the former Parisian remains in two consecutive matches without scoring, his worst series of the season, since he had found the net in all La Liga matches except one until the visit to Rayo Vallecano.
