Mbappe escapes danger.

Kylian Mbappe is likely to receive only a one-match suspension for the red card he received in Real Madrid's 1-0 victory over Alaves in La Liga's 31st round on April 13th.

Mbappe is likely to be suspended for only one match, or at most two.

Mbappe was sent off in the 38th minute after VAR intervened and the referee determined his tackle was dangerous. At that time, the 1998-born striker stamped his studs directly into Blanco's calf. Mbappe became the first Real Madrid striker to be sent off in the first half of a La Liga match since Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2008.

According to referee Cesar Soto Grado's post-match report, Mbappe was determined to be attempting a challenge for the ball, not engaging in intentional violence. He also mentioned that Mbappe used "excessive force," but that detail helped the Real Madrid star avoid a lengthy suspension. Mbappe also proactively sought out Blanco after the match to apologize.

According to COPE and El Mundo , the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) is likely to impose a suspension of only one match, or a maximum of two matches in La Liga, corresponding to the upcoming matches against Athletic Club and Getafe.

The important thing is that Mbappe is not banned from playing in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona on April 27th, unless the RFEF unexpectedly increases the ban to four matches. However, that move is considered unlikely in this case.

Furthermore, the suspension does not affect Mbappe's availability for the Champions League. He is still eligible to play in the second leg of the semi-final against Arsenal this week, as Real Madrid need to overturn a 0-3 deficit from the first leg.

Some argue that Mbappe was lucky. While the collision was contested, it wasn't close to the ball and could have resulted in a serious injury. Such situations usually carry harsher penalties.
