Kylian Mbappe received a red card as Real Madrid faced Deportivo Alaves in Week 31 of La Liga at the Mendizorroza Stadium.

Los Blancos secured a narrow 1-0 victory thanks to Eduardo Camavinga‘s goal — though the match was marred by Mbappe‘s harsh foul.

The French striker was sent off in the 38th minute after a dangerous tackle on Antonio Blanco — a former Real Madrid player now representing Alaves. The challenge struck Blanco‘s shin forcefully, causing his leg to bend unnaturally.

Despite playing with 10 men, Real Madrid managed to maintain their lead, obtained through Camavinga‘s beautiful strike before the red card incident.

The result keeps Real Madrid firmly at the top of the table, while concerns now grow over a possible suspension for Mbappe that could affect upcoming key fixtures.
