Mbappe receives a red card, putting Real Madrid in a difficult position.

Real Madrid took an early lead against Alaves away from home, but Kylian Mbappe's somewhat ill-advised tackle resulted in a red card.

Mbappe was sent off.

On the evening of April 13th, Real Madrid faced numerous difficulties in their away match against Alaves in the 31st round of La Liga. However, "Los Blancos" still demonstrated the strength of a big team by controlling the game and scoring an early opening goal thanks to Camavinga.

In the 35th minute, the French midfielder unleashed a spectacular shot from outside the Alaves penalty area to open the scoring for visiting Real Madrid. In a corner of the stands, coach Ancelotti breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just three minutes after Camavinga opened the scoring, his French teammate, Mbappe, made a mistake. The 1998-born striker made a very dangerous tackle on an Alaves player's leg.

The referee initially only issued a yellow card, but after consulting with and reviewing VAR, he quickly showed Mbappe a direct red card, sending him off and leaving Real Madrid in a difficult position as they were down to 10 men.

Mbappe's malicious tackle.

The Italian coach's team just suffered a 0-3 defeat against Arsenal and faces a very high risk of losing their title. In La Liga, Real Madrid are already 7 points behind Barcelona before today's match, and they must win against Alaves to keep their hopes alive in the title race.

In the past, Alaves wasn't a team that posed much of a challenge for Coach Ancelotti's side. Coach Eduardo Coudet's team is currently struggling in the relegation battle. They have been a "favorite prey" for Real Madrid in recent seasons.

In their head-to-head encounters, "Los Blancos" have often secured easy victories. Since 2021, Real Madrid and Alaves have met six times in La Liga, and Real Madrid have won all six matches.

Securing three points against Alaves would be a great morale boost for Real Madrid as they head into their clash with Arsenal next week.
