Kylian Mbappe was sent off in Real Madrid’s 1-0 win against Deportivo Alaves on Sunday, as Eduardo Camavinga’s goal closed the gap on La Liga leaders Barcelona to four points. But Madrid faces a spell of matches without their top scorer this season following his horror challenge on Alaves midfielder Antonio Blanco. With several critical games on the calendar, find out which games he will miss.
It's bad news for Arsenal fans, as Mbappe's suspension will only apply to Madrid's domestic competitions.
As a result, the attacker will still be able to play against Arsenal on Wednesday in the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal matchup with Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti will be without Camavinga, however, who was given a second yellow card and a subsequent red for kicking the ball away in the latter moments of the 3-0 defeat at the Emirates.
"I haven't spoken to him since," he stated following the game. Kylian isn't a violent kid, he's a kid who has apologized and is aware of what he's done. It was a clear red card and he's paid the consequences. The many small fouls committed against him have made him react this way, which isn't right. I don't say that to justify it, but that's what happened. Mbappe will hope to inspire Madrid to a comeback Champions League quarter-final win over Arsenal after losing the first leg at the Emirates 3-0.
Madrid held on for a crucial three points to keep their La Liga title hopes alive with a 1-0 win on Sunday. However, Mbappe could be banned for three games, which is a significant blow ahead of some crucial matches. However, that will only apply for Los Blancos' domestic competitions - meaning the 26-year-old will be able to play against Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday.
