Kylian Mbappe received his first red card in six years after a reckless tackle on Antonio Blanco during a match against Alaves. Real Madrid's assistant coach Davide Ancelotti attributed this aggressive reaction to the build-up of frustration caused by recurring small fouls Mbappe faced throughout the game. Initially shown a yellow card, the decision changed after VAR review. Ancelotti defended Mbappe's character post-match, emphasizing that he is not violent and acknowledges his mistake.
Eduardo Camavinga had only given Real Madrid the lead four minutes earlier when Blanco stretched to stop a counter-attack.
Mbappe's ugly challenge led to a straight red card, after an initial yellow was reviewed by the referee.
It’s clear a red card and he paid for it... Surely the many small fouls made him react like that.
First of all, we have to say that Mbappe is not violent, he has asked for forgiveness.
