Days before Real Madrid takes on Arsenal, Kylian MBAPPE was sent off for a horrific tackle.
Against Alaves, the striker received his sixth red card of his career, but it was his first in six years.
Luckily for Mbappe, Eduardo Camavinga was on the scoresheet and his team was ahead 1-0 at the time of the incident.
When Manu Sanchez was sent off in the 70th minute, Alaves was reduced to ten men as well, and that was how the game finished.
The 26-year-old Mbappe will now miss the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona due to a three-match suspension following his dismissal for major foul play.
After a spectacular tackle that left his opponent in a heap on the ground, the Frenchman was given the order to leave.
Mbappe caught Antonio Blanco high on his shin after diving in with his studs up.
After a VAR review, the referee enhanced his punishment after initially giving him a yellow card.
The challenge’s violent nature startled fans, who likened it to Roy Keane’s notorious “tackle” on Alfe-Inge Haaland.
In response, a fan wrote: “Proper grim challenge.”
One more person said, “Disgusting tackle.”
.
One more person commented, “That’s a Keane-Haaland tackle that bad bad stuff.”
“They should ban him from all football for that! 🤷♂️” said another commenter.
Mbappe’s dismissal occurs just days before Real Madrid, behind 3-0, plays Arsenal in the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal.
