The Spanish football federation ruled on the red card of Kylian Mbappe during the La Liga collision between Alaves and Real Madrid on Sunday, who saw a 1-0 win for the defending champion in Mendizorroza. And it is more good news for the side of Carlo Ancelotti.
Mbappe was fired in the first half for a high challenge on Alaves midfielder Antonio Blanco. Initially, a yellow card was shown by referee Cesar Soto Grado on the field, but after a VAR check, he quickly brought the red forward.
Mbappe has already apologized for the challenge, and there were the initial fears that he would be at least three games – and if that had been the case, he would have missed the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona, which takes place in less than two weeks.
However, it soon became clear that Mbappe would avoid this scenario, and now the disciplinary committee of the Federation has confirmed the good news for Real Madrid.
According to Diario AS, the disciplinary committee has confirmed that Mbappe has received a suspension of one competition that La Liga will request. It has been expected that the Real Madrid -Superster “took place violently on the occasion of the game or as a direct consequence of a throw thereof”, and this led his punishment to be not heavier.
As a result, Mbappe will miss this weekend's game against Athletic Club in the Santiago Bernabeu. Although it is less than an idea for Real Madrid to be without their star striker for an important La Liga match against a team that chases Champions League qualification qualification, this means that he can be involved against Getafe next Wednesday for the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona on Saturday.
Real Madrid has been able to breathe a sigh of lighting on this issue, and they can now fully concentrate on preparations for the crucial quarterfinals on Wednesday of Wednesday against Arsenal.
