Mbappe faces the risk of being banned from playing after his lack of restraint. |
In round 31 of La Liga, Kylian Mbappe had an extremely dangerous kick on the foot of Antonio Blanco, a player of Alaves. This seemed to be Mbappe's retaliation because before that, he was constantly provoked by Blanco and his teammates on the field.
Pressure
Before the brutal moment and the red card, Real Madrid fans felt the anxiety about Mbappe, when the French striker hit Blanco in the head after a collision early in the match. Alaves defenders continuously used their hands to hit Mbappe, provoking the player to respond.
The Real Madrid striker clearly showed signs of losing his cool from the start of the match. As a result, he had a stupid kick on his opponent's leg, even though Real Madrid had taken a 1-0 lead just 3 minutes earlier. After the 0-3 loss at the Emirates Stadium to Arsenal, the morale of the entire Real Madrid team was low, and Mbappe was no exception.
For a player who rarely loses his temper or plays dirty with opponents like Mbappe, his red card against Alaves is a warning sign. According to sources from AS , Mbappe's lack of control could lead to a ban of at least 3 matches or more, depending on the detailed report from the referee.
Mbappe is expected to be banned for four games, due to his brutal tackle on Blanco. If the ban is imposed, Mbappe will miss the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona on April 27 – a huge loss for his team.
Mbappe is becoming a rare bright spot in Real Madrid's attack, with 12 goals in La Liga in 2025, far exceeding the total number of goals of the remaining strikers combined (8 goals). After the away trip to Alavés, the Spanish royal team continues to face the difficult problem of attacking efficiency, when the person who scored for them on April 13 was a midfielder (Camavinga).
Real Madrid's attack was expected to be high thanks to its expensive stars, but only Mbappe has scored regularly since January. At the same time, Vinicius has only scored 3 goals, Rodrygo only 1 goal, Bellingham and Brahim each have 2 goals, while Endrick and Güler have not scored any goals and are often on the bench.
As a result, Real Madrid rely too much on Mbappe, who has scored one and a half times more goals than the rest of the strikers (12 compared to 8). The imbalance has obvious consequences every time Mbappe plays poorly, Real Madrid will have to pay the price. The French striker failed to score against Arsenal, Real Betis and Valencia, causing "Los Blancos" to lose.
Mbappe behaved without restraint. |
At Alaves, if Camavinga had not shone with a beautiful finish outside the penalty area, Real would not have won all three points. Mbappe's frustration seemed to come not only from the Alaves defenders' tricks.
The problem
Madrid media are hoping that Mbappe will only be suspended for around one match for his red card against Alaves. However, there is no guarantee that La Liga will not punish Mbappe further after Real Madrid's noisy incidents with referees this season.
If Mbappe is absent during the crucial period in April, including the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona on April 27, Real Madrid's season could collapse. From the chance to win the treble, "Los Blancos" are at risk of going completely empty-handed.
Mbappe is Real's biggest support at the moment, but when this striker shows signs of losing his composure and being unable to control his emotions, people understand how difficult the situation is at the Spanish capital club. If they cannot create a miracle against Arsenal in the middle of this week, Real Madrid will only have a chance in La Liga and the King's Cup.
In La Liga, they are still 4 points behind Barcelona and if they continue to stumble in April, Ancelotti and his teammates should probably forget about the chance to win the tournament. If Mbappe also misses the Copa del Rey final on April 27, Real will really be in trouble because they have lost to Barcelona in El Clasico this season.
Perhaps Mbappe has never felt more remorseful for a tackle that he did not control. He apologized to his teammates after the match, but the punishment is still pending. Real Madrid's entire season could collapse after Mbappe's stupid moment at Alaves.
Newcastle's 4 goals drowned MU. Early morning of April 14, MU suffered a 1-4 defeat to Newcastle at St James' Park in round 32 of the Premier League.
