Mbappe apologised to Madrid teammates after Alaves red card

Kylian Mbappe apologised in the visiting dressing room of Mendizorroza to his Real Madrid teammates, visibly affected after seeing his first red card in Spanish football, against Alaves in La Liga, for a hard tackle on midfielder Antonio Blanco, with whom he also apologised after the match.

As reported to ‘EFE’ by sources in the Madrid dressing room, Mbappe apologised to his teammates and the coaching staff after being sent off with a straight red card 38 minutes into the match.

The French striker made a hard tackle on Antonio Blanco, the result of frustration after being kicked twice by opponents. Aware that he got carried away, Mbappe was affected by his action and after apologising to all his teammates, he also did the same to his opponent, Antonio Blanco.

According to what referee Soto Grado wrote in the match report, it is quite likely that the Frenchman will be able to play in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona and will not receive a suspension of more than three matches.
