The reason? In his report, the referee indicated that Mbappé had been excluded for having put his “foot up to the tibia of an opponent, playing the ball, making excessive use of the force”. The referee therefore considered that the player wanted to play the ball, a consideration which is subject to interpretation in view of the images. The fact that Blanco was not injured is also an element that pleads in favor of Mbappé.

The Spanish press therefore considers, in view of the arbitrator’s report, that it is article 130 of the regulation that will be followed: “Any act of violence during the game or as a direct consequence of any incident in the game, provided that the action creates a risk but that it does not produce harmful or harmful consequences, will be sanctioned from one to three matches or for a period of up to a month. “
So there is a good chance that Mbappé is a magnifying out the meetings against Bilbao (April 20) and Getafe (April 23). On the other hand, the French striker may not miss the clasicos against FC Barcelona. The first takes place on April 26 in the King’s Cup, the second on May 11 in Liga. The regulation stipulates that the sanctions cannot be extended to other national competitions only from four suspension meetings. In the case, very likely, where Mbappé would receive three suspension games, it would therefore be selectable against Barça in the Cup, before being suspended for the reception of Celta Vigo, May 3 and again available for travel to Camp Nou in Liga.
