In a shocking turn of events during Real Madrid’s clash with Alavés, Kylian Mbappé was shown a straight red card in the 38th minute for a reckless tackle that left fans and players stunned. The French superstar lunged in aggressively on an Alavés player, catching him dangerously with his studs in what can only be described as a moment of poor judgment.
The referee had no hesitation reaching for the red, and VAR confirmed the severity of the challenge. The tackle—captured in a chilling frame—shows Mbappé’s extended leg making direct contact, a scene that’s certainly not for the faint-hearted.
Real Madrid now face not only the rest of the match with ten men but also the consequences of losing their star man for upcoming fixtures. It’s a moment that will surely spark debates and raise questions about discipline, pressure, and decision-making on the biggest stage.
