Still in the fight to stay close to the Barcelona leader at the head of the Liga, Real Madrid moved to the Alavés lawn on behalf of the 31st day of the championship. The Merengues, already under pressure after the debacle conceded against Arsenal, in the Champions League, must imperatively react. At the half hour of play, Eduardo Camavong opened the scoring with a beautiful strike at the entrance to the surface, but a few minutes later, an event completely changed the thread of the 39th minute.
While the Alavés player, Antonio Blanco, threw himself to transmit a ball to his teammate, Kylian Mbappé voluntarily sent him a terrible kick on the tibia. A shocking gesture, which logically led to the expulsion of the number 9 of Real Madrid, which seems to have lost its nerves on the action. A crazy gesture, which could be worth several suspension matches and therefore compromise the title race, but also the King's Cup final against FC Barcelona, which he could therefore miss if he is suspended for more than three matches.
