Kylian Mbappé has been handed a one-game suspension after receiving a red card during Real Madrid's match against Alavés. The decision by the Spanish Football Federation allows him to miss only the upcoming LaLiga match against Athletic Club while still being eligible for the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona. Mbappé's red card, his first with Madrid, followed a tackle on Antonio Blanco. His coach's son acknowledged the incident, explaining that past fouls aimed at Mbappé contributed to his reaction.
The decision means the France forward will only miss Madrid's upcoming LaLiga clash with Athletic Club on Sunday and will be available to face Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final on April 26.
Kylian isn't a violent lad for sure; he's said sorry, he's aware of the mistake he made. It's a clear red-card challenge, and he's suffered the consequences.
