After making a horrific tackle during Sunday afternoon’s La Liga encounter between Real Madrid and Deportivo Alaves, Kylian Mbappe was sent off for just the fourth time in his career. Los Blancos entered the game knowing they needed to win to stay ahead of Barcelona, who are now ahead of them in the battle for the La Liga championship.
Raul Asensio’s goal was chalked off, and Eduardo Camavinga’s goal gave Carlo Ancelotti’s team the lead. It also got off to a strong start. After that, it was anticipated that Madrid would have an easy time, but just before halftime, Mbappe—who is regarded as one of the greatest football players in the world—threw a wrench in the plan.
Mbappe Was Sent Off For a Brutal Challenge
VAR took a look at the incident and advised showing him a red card
With Madrid ahead in the 39th minute, Mbappe lost his cool and launched a crazy challenge on Antonio Blanco, leaving the Alaves player on the ground, writhing in pain. He was first given a yellow card for the foul, but after VAR’s investigation, the card was changed to a straight red. The midfielder was late to be caught by the star, who entered with his foot high and his studs facing him.
After examining the challenge more closely, the officials decided that it was risky and that the only option was to give him his marching orders. Fans have now spoken their opinions on the event and haven’t held back when expressing their opinions regarding Mbappe and the foul.
Football fans have been quick to trash Mbappe on social media, indicating that they are not impressed with him.
Mbappe has a lot of followers since he is one of the most dynamic and thrilling football players in the world. The former World Cup champion is adored by millions of people worldwide, but his tackle on Blanco during the La Liga match left onlookers unimpressed. One fan posted on X (Twitter): “WTF man??? That is so shameful for Mbappe. One person posted, “This should be a 10-game ban tf is that,” echoing the feelings of another, who said, “Rightly sent off, one of the worst challenges I’ve seen.”
“This calls for a further punishment, a mere red card isn’t enough,” stated a fan who felt that a red card wasn’t even a significant enough punishment for the foul. A fourth fan believed that the situation may worsen and wanted to see the Madrid star do time in prison for the infraction. “This is a career-threatening challenge,” the fan said. On social media, someone wrote: “This should be for JAIL.”
