Juanfe Sanz Reveals Why Mbappé Won't Miss the Copa Final, No Matter What

For the first time since his arrival at Real Madrid last summer, Kylian Mbappé was sent off. After a very harsh tackle against Antonio Blanco, the VAR had no doubt that Mbappé's action was worthy of a direct red card. While this was a tough blow during the match against Alavés, the consequences are not over yet.

Kylian Mbappé still has to wait for the match suspension he will receive after his foul. A situation that, before Juanfe Sanz's information, put Mbappé's participation in the Copa del Rey final at risk. For such an important match as this, Mbappé's absence would be a significant loss for Real Madrid.

However, according to Juanfe Sanz, Mbappé might have the opportunity to play in this desired match despite receiving a red card. The reason behind this is that, since Antonio Blanco was not substituted due to injury, Mbappé's suspension would not be as severe.

Mbappé's Absence

After 33 goals and 5 assists achieved with Real Madrid, Mbappé received his first red card. Surprising everyone with his tackle against Antonio Blanco, Mbappé lost his temper in a key LaLiga match. Even so, the suspension he might receive would be between 2 to 3 matches, having the chance to play in the Cup.

All this clearly depends on what the referee writes in his report after the match that Madrid won with a goal by Camavinga. If the referee writes that there was no chance to contest the ball, his suspension would be as mentioned.

Awaiting the report and consequently, the suspension, there is some hope of seeing Mbappé in the Cup final. However, if he misses this match due to the suspension received, it would confirm that Mbappé made a very serious mistake.

Mbappé's Sentence

Being a player known for not losing his temper even in the most tense matches, Mbappé's expulsion was quite a surprise. Although there is still a chance to see Mbappé in the Cup final, this situation can't happen again.
