BREAKING: Mbappe sees red in Real Madrid win over Alaves

Kylian Mbappe was shown a red card during Real Madrid’s 1-0 victory over Alaves in a La Liga encounter on Sunday evening.

It was Mbappe’s first red card since April 2019, and it was his first since joining Real Madrid this term.

Mbappe was initially shown a yellow card for catching Antonio Blanco high on the shin with a late challenge, but that was upgraded to red after a VAR review.

Alaves also finished the game with 10 men as they had Manu Sánchez sent off on 70 minutes.

Eduardo Camavinga gave Real Madrid the lead with a curling left-footed strike from just outside the penalty area on 34 minutes, and they held on to win.
