Kylian Mbappé is expected this evening. Indeed, Real Madrid and its supporters count on him to conduct the operation Revena launched by the Iberian capital club last week after the defeat 3 to 0 against Arsenal in 1/4 first leg of the UEFA Champions League. And in case he had not understood it, Carlo Ancelotti reminded him yesterday at a press conference. “Kylian Mbappé is still injured, disappointed with what happened. Yesterday, he trained very well, he was very motivated. We need him, we must not only defend, we have to score goals. More than ever, we need his goals tomorrow. He has brought us a lot this season with his goals, but tomorrow we will need even more. ”
KM9 knows what he has to do while his club has to go up 3 goals to hope to join Paris Saint-Germain in the 1/2 final. Which would be a hell of a story to tell. But before that, there is another to write this evening at Santiago-Bernabéu. An important match for Mbappé, who also wants to redeem himself. Last weekend, Le Bondynois was expelled against Alavés en Liga. The 26 -year -old striker was guilty of a large sole on Antonio Blanco and was sanctioned for his gesture. He also apologized to his opponent, but also to the Madrid locker room. Mbappé also spoke with Carlo Ancelotti and its President Florentino Pérez to evoke this expulsion which could cost him dear.
A decision that makes talk
Indeed, the Iberian media and many specialists had first mentioned the possibility that he could be suspended during 3 games. He would have notably missed the King's Cup final against FC Barcelona. Then, some publications indicated that he could finally get a suspension match. A trend that was confirmed yesterday in Spain, where the main media assured that KM9 will only be suspended one meeting and that the match will be missing against Athletic Bilbao on the 32nd day of Liga. But this decision causes a huge outcry in Spain, where some do not understand why the player born in 98 benefits from such a leniency.
In Catalonia, Sports World Do not chew his words. “The scandal is confirmed: Mbappé is suspended for a single match! The disciplinary committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) sanctioned Kylian Mbappé on Tuesday, expelled last Sunday with a direct red card for his violent tackle on the Alavés player Antonio Blanco, of a suspension match, which he will have to serve this Sunday against the Athletic Club at the Santiago Bernabéu. The three members of the disciplinary body notably based their opinion on the report of the referee Soto Grado, who indicated that the French striker had been expelled “for having plunged with his foot at the level of the tibia of an opponent, while he was fighting for the ball, using excessive force”.
Catalonia has come back
MD continues: “While everything seemed to indicate that Mbappé would be sanctioned with two matches, which would never have prevented him from playing in Seville the final of the King's Cup against Barça on April 26, the disciplinary committee finally leaned for the minimum degree for the French, who will be able to play in a week the championship match at the Coliseum against Getafe (Wednesday April 23, 9:30 p.m.), before the final of the King Cup.” Sport is of the same opinion: “Mbappé has already been sanctioned for its wild tackle. The Frenchman will only miss the match against the Athletic Club after his violent tackle on Antonio Blanco in the match against Alavés. A very minor sanction given the severity of Mbappé's gesture, which is explained in the report written by Soto Grado after the match. “
L’Sporty Go in the same direction. “Mbappé suspended a match for his very hard tackle on Blanco. The disciplinary committee decided to sanction Madrilene striker Kylian Mbappé in a single match after the very hard tackle he made during the match against Alavés on Antonio Blanco, violently pushing his crampons into the midwife, which fortunately did not suffer a serious injury. The disciplinary committee could have sanctioned Mbappé with a sentence between one and three games, and opted for the lightest sanction. ” Which is not very well perceived in Catalonia. On the side of Madrid, we breathe a little better after this decision.
