Edu Aguirre Reveals the Conversation Between Mbappé and Antonio Blanco After the Red Card

Kylian Mbappé's Words After His Expulsion Have Been Revealed by Edu Aguirre

The match between Real Madrid and Deportivo Alavés witnessed the expulsion of Kylian Mbappé. With the game being up for grabs, Mbappé stopped one of Alavés's dangerous chances.  However, his tackle against Antonio Blanco was harsher than expected, being the cause of the Frenchman's expulsion after 5 years since his last one.

This caused a huge surprise for everyone, with Mbappé simply heading to Real Madrid's locker room. While that's all the public witnessed, Edu Aguirre has revealed more information about it. "He went to apologize," commented Edu Aguirre to ensure that Mbappé went to Antonio Blanco to show his remorse.

This shows Mbappé's ability to recognize his mistakes but, above all, his concern for the well-being of his opponents. Additionally, Edu also confirmed that Mbappé apologized to Real Madrid's locker room for his action that left them at a disadvantage.

Mbappé's Words

Since his debut in professional soccer in 2016, Mbappé is not a player famous for his constant expulsions. Known more for being an extremely lethal striker, it's extremely rare to see an expulsion from the Frenchman. That's why the red card he received against Alavés was a surprise even for his own teammates.

While the situation could have been contested by Mbappé during the match, the player showed his maturity by accepting his punishment. Heading to the locker room, Edu Aguirre confirmed that Mbappé waited until he could apologize to everyone.
