Dirty Sunday for Kylian Mbappé. While Real Madrid ensured the essentials by winning on the field of Alaves (0-1), the French striker saw red.
Kylian Mbappé was excluded in the 38th minute, for a very nasty gesture: an intervention on the tibia of his opponent, which could have been seriously affected. After intervention by the Var, the meeting referee did not hesitate to transform the yellow card into an exclusion.
It is the first red card by Kylian Mbappé with Real Madrid, the fifth of his career counting those received with Paris Saint-Germain. And the Bondynois quickly made its mea-culpa. According to El Chiringuito, the captain of the French team apologized to his teammates in the locker room, and he also made a contrition to Antonio Blanco, the Alaves player who received the blow.
Mbappé, suspension in sight
Kylian Mbappé will now wait to know the duration of his suspension. Marca hopes that he will receive a sanction between 1 and 3 matches, especially if he recognizes his wrongs. Even if the Madrid daily remembers that Angel Correa took four matches after her red card in Getafe.
For Mbappé, this sanction could cost very expensive. The next two Real Liga matches will be facing Bilbao and Getafe. But then there is this King's Cup final against FC Barcelona. With or without the French attacker?
