Mbappé Receives One-Match Ban Following Red Card in Real Madrid's Victory Over Alavés

On April 14, in last night's La Liga match, Real Madrid narrowly defeated Alavés 1-0 away. During the match, Mbappé was shown a straight red card for stamping in the 38th minute, leading to discussions about the length of his suspension.

According to Iassc Fouto from Cadena COPE, the red card will only result in a one-match ban for Mbappé. The reason for the lack of harsher punishment is that, although he did engage in violent conduct, the ball was still in play at the time of the incident. Therefore, he will miss the next league match at home against Athletic Bilbao but will not be at risk of missing the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona.
