Real Madrid’s Mbappe sent off for bad tackle in Alaves clash

Real Madrid superstar, Kylian Mbappe, was sent off for a bad tackle during his team’s La Liga game at Alaves on Sunday.

It was his first red card after joining the Spanish and European champions last summer.

Mbappe lunged in high on former Madrid midfielder Antonio Blanco and was dismissed in the 38th minute, with his side leading 1-0 through Eduardo Camavinga’s strike.

Madrid are trying to close the gap on leaders Barcelona, who moved seven points clear at the top of the table after their 1-0 win at Leganes on Saturday.

French striker Mbappe is Madrid’s top scorer with 22 strikes in La Liga.
