Kylian Mbappé apologizes after the strong foul that cost him the red card against Alavés

Kylian Mbappé has been one of the most commented protagonists of the football weekend after his expulsion in the duel between Real Madrid and Alavés, corresponding to LaLiga Day 31.

The French striker saw the direct red card at minute 37after a hard entry at the knee of a rival, in a play that was reviewed by the VAR and changed the course of the game.

After the meeting, it transpired that the player was very affected by the situation, recognizing that his reaction was wrong. According to sources close to the locker room, Mbappé would have apologized to the coaching staff and his teammates for leaving the team with one less in a key match for the fight for the title.

At the conference after the meeting, David Ancelotti, who spoke to the media instead of his father Carlo Ancelotti, defended the French attacker and assured that he is not a player who acts with bad intention: “Mbappé is not a violent boy. It is a clear red entrance, yes, but does not represent his way of being on the court,” said Real Madrid technical assistant.

Davide Ancelotti also emphasized that they were the repeated offenses received by the striker that could have taken it to that limit: “The many small offenses that have made him have made him react in this way, which is a wrong way. He knows and is very affected by what happened,” he said.

During the party, Mbappé had already shown signs of frustration against the constant infractions against him, several of them without sanction. At the time of the foul, the player arrived late to the ball and connected the rival’s leg, immediately generating the arbitration review.

Real Madrid, who ended up winning by the minimum with a bit of Eduardo Camavinga, was waiting for the decision of the Competition Committee on the sanction that French will receive, which could range between one and three suspension matches depending on the arbitration report.

The absence of Mbappé for the next meetings would mean a significant decline in the final stretch of the season, just when the meringues also prepare for the closure of the Champions League and the classic against Barcelona.
