The frightening challenge that Kylian Mbappe, a prominent player for Real Madrid, received on Sunday resulted in his receiving a straight red card; nonetheless, supporters instantly came up with a notion.
During the Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Arsenal, which will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu, Carlo Ancelotti made the decision to rest both Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham. This decision was made in preparation for Arsenal’s next match against Alaves.
In spite of the fact that Mbappe was given the opportunity to start, the former Paris Saint-Germain star was only able to play for 38 minutes before being disciplined.
Mbappe made a terrible tackle on Antonio Blanco that was high and late, and he was initially shown a yellow card for it. This occurred four minutes after Eduardo Camavinga had scored the first goal of the game.
After a review by the video assistant referee, it was elevated to a red card, which resulted in Mbappe receiving his first red card since joining Real Madrid on a free transfer in the summer.
Mbappe was taken off the game early, but despite the fact that Real Madrid was down to ten men as a result of the punishment, many supporters believed that Mbappe would benefit from additional rest before the crucial match against Arsenal.
One of the fans on X made the following comment: “Mbappe just wants to rest well before the Arsenal game.”
A third individual stated, “Mbappe would absolutely prefer to take a break for Wednesday.”
An additional comment stated: “Mbappe wanted the same rest as Vini so he got himself a red card.”
A fourth individual commented: “Mbappe gets a red card deliberately so he can have sufficient rest before they close the roof of the Bernabeu.”
“Mbappe getting sent off to rest himself for Arsenal, is that an accurate statement?” said the final user.
Kylian Mbappe could be not allowed to play in the final.
However, Mbappe will now be facing a domestic suspension at a crucial portion of the season, despite the fact that he has scored 32 goals in his first season with Real Madrid.
If a player receives a red card in La Liga, they are immediately suspended for one game. However, depending on what is written in the referee’s report, their suspension could be extended beyond that.
In the event that he was to get a three-game suspension, he would be excused from forthcoming matches against Athletic Club and Getafe, in addition to the Copa del Rey final match versus Barcelona, which would take place at Estadio de La Cartuja on April 26.
Considering that the suspension does not apply to European events, it seems inevitable that he will be permitted to participate in the Champions League and play.
