Ethan Mbappé, the nasty nudge!

Ethan Mbappé’s Champions League campaign is off to a very bad start. The Losc attacking midfielder received a red card for elbowing a Betis player.

It’s a cold shower for Losc! While leading 2-1 at the break against Betis Sevilla, the Northerners conceded two goals after returning from the locker room, and Ethan Mbappé failed to control his nerves.

Just after the third Andalusian goal, the Lille attacking midfielder elbowed Natan, the Betis defender, in the face, who was passing right next to him, and who had perhaps teased him verbally.

This bad gesture escaped the referee’s attention at first, but the VAR could not let this pass. After viewing the images, the Bulgarian Mr. Kabakov did not hesitate to show the red card against Kylian Mbappé’s little brother.

Ethan Mbappé had started well…

It’s a hard blow for Ethan Mbappé who, following his good start to the season with Losc, had a very interesting start to the match. On the legs, the former Parisian notably sent an assist for Ayase Ueda on his team’s opener.

Ethan Mbappé will automatically be deprived of the trip to Arsenal the next day. He could be suspended for several matches.
