Over the weekend, Real Madrid narrowly defeated Alaves (1-0), and the team's forward Kylian Mbappe received a straight red card for a rough foul, after which he was suspended for one match. However, not everyone agrees with this decision.
Details: Barcelona's vice president Rafa Yuste declared that La Liga's decision is disgraceful, as the Frenchman should have faced a more severe punishment.
Quote:
"A one-match suspension for Mbappe? It's a disgrace, a complete absurdity. He could have caused a serious injury. If one of our players had done that, and they wouldn't, because our guys are honest players, I don't know what would have happened to them. It's unfair."
Kylian Mbappe will miss Real Madrid's upcoming La Liga match against Athletic Bilbao.
Reminder: In yesterday's match against Borussia Dortmund (1-3) Barcelona suffered their first defeat with Wojciech Szczesny in goal.
