LaLiga: Why Mbappe got red card in Alaves vs Real Madrid – Ancelotti

0

Davide, who took charge of the LaLiga game in the place of his suspended father, also revealed Mbappe apologized to his teammates.

The Frenchman was shown a straight red card for a reckless challenge in the first half of Madrid’s nervy 1-0 win on Sunday.

The visitors scored the only goal of the game in the 34th minute, thanks to a sublime finish from Eduardo Camavinga.

But Mbappe was sent off in the 38th minute, after a VAR check, for his high tackle on midfielder Antonio Blanco.

Alaves also finished with 10 men after Vinícius Júnior was caught on the calf by defender, Manu Sánchez.

“Kylian isn’t a violent lad for sure; he’s said sorry, he’s aware of the mistake he made,” Davide told the media.

“It’s a clear red-card challenge, and he’s suffered the consequences.

“All the little fouls they committed on him made him react in that way. It wasn’t the right way; I’m not justifying it, but that’s what happened.”
