Madrid, Spain – Tuesday, April 15, 2025 – Reports from @aranchamobile indicate that Kylian Mbappé has been handed a one-match suspension in La Liga following his straight red card in Real Madrid’s match against Deportivo Alavés.
The French forward was sent off during the game for a late and high challenge on Alavés midfielder Antonio Blanco.
While there were initial concerns about a potentially longer ban, it appears the Disciplinary Committee has opted for a one-game suspension.
This means that Mbappé will miss Real Madrid’s upcoming La Liga fixture against Athletic Bilbao.
However, crucially for Real Madrid fans, this one-match suspension will not affect his availability for the highly anticipated El Clásico Copa del Rey final against Barcelona.
Mbappé will be eligible to feature in the final, which is scheduled for Saturday, April 26, 2025, at Estadio La Cartuja in Seville.
This news will come as a relief to Real Madrid as they prepare for the crucial showdown against their fierce rivals.
