The Matches Mbappé Will Face According to Soto Grado's Report, No Doubt About It

The sanction Kylian Mbappé will have to face after his expulsion has been determined by Soto Grado's report

Needing the three points to stay in the fight for LaLiga, Real Madrid managed to overcome Deportivo Alavés. Through a solitary goal by Eduardo Camavinga, Real Madrid remains in the fight against Barcelona. However, the situation that took all the spotlight was Kylian Mbappé's harsh tackle against Antonio Blanco.

Being sent off by referee César Soto Grado, Mbappé has been waiting for his sanction. With various speculations surrounding the severity of his sanction, Mbappé finally knows that he will not be able to play in 2 matches. This is because in Soto Grado's report, the referee used the expression "in the contest for the ball," affecting the sanction.

Implying that Mbappé, instead of trying to injure the opponent, tried to contest the ball, his sanction has not been so severe. This allows Mbappé to be available to play in the Cup final and the Clásico against Barcelona in LaLiga.

Soto Grado's Report Sanction

At 26 years old, Kylian Mbappé is a player who is not at all accustomed to being sent off. Having received a red card on three occasions in the past, his expulsion in the match against Alavés was only his fourth time. Although there was much speculation about his sanction, it has not been as severe as it initially seemed.

Soto Grado's report, apart from being the reason for the 2-day sanction, proved Mbappé's innocence in the play. With several people claiming and assuring that Mbappé intended to injure Antonio Blanco, Soto Grado's report has shown the opposite.

Trying to recover the ball for Real Madrid, Mbappé made a mistake that is not typical of a player of his caliber. Even so, both Real Madrid and Mbappé have not complained about the sanction, knowing that 2 matches is a more than fair punishment.

Mbappé's Absence Matches

While Mbappé will not be able to help Real Madrid for two matches, the player will be present in the most important games. The Cup final and the Clásico on May 11 are matches where Mbappé's presence is crucial to achieving victory.
