Roncero Goes All Out Against Mbappé, Brutal Jab at the Frenchman: 'What He Has Done...

The journalist reproaches the Frenchman for his entry at a critical moment of the season that could have left Madrid without league options

As soon as the match between Alavés and Real Madrid ended, Tomás Roncero recorded a video from the Diario AS newsroom.

The journalist quickly reacted to Kylian Mbappé's expulsion. His message was direct and forceful. "Real Madrid won with 10," Roncero began, "because of Mbappé's self-expulsion."

The direct red card to the French forward in the 37th minute marked the development of the match. "Kylian, I don't understand what went through your mind," Roncero said, visibly upset.

He recalled that Mbappé had several clashes with Alavés player Santiago Mouriño. "I understand they were giving you a hard time," he added, "but you must have the mental toughness of an elite player."

Compares Him to His Idol

Roncero compared his attitude to that of Cristiano Ronaldo during his years in white. "Cristiano endured everything... and even replied with goals," he noted.

Then came his strongest criticism: "Today Kylian took the bait and did something that is indefensible."

The panelist did not justify the Frenchman's action at any time. "It was a red card tackle," he said emphatically. "Just like the one they did to you in Cornellà," he recalled.

"I still think about it and it was a disgrace, but you can't do the same," he explained.

Demands More and the Key Match Arrives

Roncero was adamant about the responsibility that comes with wearing the Real Madrid jersey. "You can't leave the team like this," he insisted, "in a match where we're playing for the league."

The video was recorded just minutes after the final whistle, with the reaction still fresh. From the Diario AS newsroom, the journalist made it clear that Mbappé's attitude is not acceptable.

He also warned that this type of behavior can take a toll. Mbappé could receive a suspension of up to three matches.

This would directly affect his fight for the Pichichi and the Golden Boot. Meanwhile, Lewandowski continues scoring goals with Barça.

Roncero closed the video with a clear reflection: "This can't happen again." Madridists now hope that Mbappé takes note and has a great performance in the return leg against Arsenal.
