[Saba Sports News] In the 31st round of La Liga, Real Madrid defeated Alaves 1-0 away. Notably, Kylian Mbappe violently stomped on Antonio Blanco’s lower leg in the first half, and after the referee reviewed VAR, the yellow card was changed to a red card. According to statistics, this is the fourth red card in Mbappe’s career across all competitions, with his last red card occurring in the 2019 Coupe de France final between Paris Saint-Germain and Rennes. After the match, Mbappe personally went to Alaves’ locker room to apologize to Blanco and also expressed regret to his teammates. Mbappe apologized to his teammates for leaving the team a man down for sixty minutes in such an intense match. In this uncontrollable conflict, Mbappe did not look for any excuses and was extremely angry at his own performance. In addition, Mbappe’s impulsive act immediately became a focus of attention for fans and the media, with the Mbappe keyword “topping the charts” on the Spanish region X search list. Moreover, this French star is also likely to face additional penalties in the future.
