Mbapp\u00e9 will be able to play in the Cup final and the League Cl\u00e1sico thanks to the ‘hacking’ of the report"},"content":{"rendered":"
Kylian Mbapp\u00e9’s terrifying tackle on the Alav\u00e9s player<\/a><\/strong> will go without the punishment it deserves thanks to the writing of the report by the referee Soto Grado<\/strong>, an interpretation of the play and the regulations that reflects many things but not reality. In the 38th minute of the match, the French striker was sent off for a very harsh late tackle on Antonio Blanco, planting his studs on the player’s right leg. Surprisingly, being on top of the play with perfect vision… the referee had given him a yellow card<\/strong>… and to top off the farce, the report says that he “disputes the ball.”<\/p> Despite the harshness of the images and the seriousness of the action, the expression used by Soto Grado \u201cin the dispute of the ball\u201d will be key to determining the sanction<\/strong>, however, at no time is there any, since it was never within Mbapp\u00e9’s reach. Experts agree that the foul will be evaluated as violent but without serious consequences, which would limit the sanction to two or three matches. A ‘perfect’ number that ensures that Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 can play in the two Cl\u00e1sicos against FC Barcelona<\/strong>, the one in the Copa del Rey final<\/a><\/strong> and the Bar\u00e7a-Madrid of matchday 35 of La Liga<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p> But the reality is that the report does not do justice to what has really happened on the field and, again, raises all kinds of suspicions. After a criminal tackle, Mbapp\u00e9 will at most get 2 matches, one less than Lewandowski (3) for touching his nose and the same as Hansi Flick (2) for doing nothing…<\/strong><\/p> The report written by referee C\u00e9sar Soto Grado<\/strong> after the expulsion of Kylian Mbapp\u00e9<\/strong> in the match between Alav\u00e9s and Real Madrid reflects that the striker was sanctioned with a direct red card for “entering with his foot in the form of a stud at the height of an opponent’s shin, in the dispute of the ball<\/strong>, using excessive force.” The action occurred in the 38th minute of the match, when Mbapp\u00e9 impacted with his studs on Antonio Blanco’s tibia in a play that was initially sanctioned with a yellow card<\/strong>, but that after VAR review was corrected to a direct red<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p> The Disciplinary Committee will probably apply Article 130 of the Disciplinary Code<\/strong>, which sanctions violent actions in the game with a suspension of between one and three matches if there are no serious injury consequences. Although the tackle was described as violent, it did not cause injuries to Blanco, which could be considered a mitigating factor.<\/p> Therefore, it is expected that Mbapp\u00e9 will receive a sanction of two matches, although there is a possibility that it will be three. This means that ‘coincidentally’ he will be able to play in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona on April 26<\/strong>, since sanctions of less than four matches only affect league competitions. Thanks to the benevolent writing of the report, the Real Madrid striker will also be able to play in the Cl\u00e1sico of matchday 35 of LaLiga against Barcelona<\/strong>.<\/p> \ud83d\udfe5 The expulsion of Mbapp\u00e9. #LALIGAEASPORTS<\/a> #LaCasaDelF\u00fatbol<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/FXYeU8G9Jp<\/a><\/p> \u2014 F\u00fatbol en Movistar Plus+ (@MovistarFutbol) April 13, 2025<\/a> <\/blockquote> <\/div> Mbapp\u00e9 admitted his mistake after the match and apologized<\/strong> to both Antonio Blanco and his teammates for leaving the team with one less player for a large part of the match. This is the player’s first expulsion since arriving in Spanish football and the fourth in his entire professional career.<\/p> Kylian Mbapp\u00e9’s expulsion and the sanction he could receive are compared with other recent cases of Real Madrid in LaLiga<\/strong>, showing inexplicable differences in the treatment of fouls according to their nature and severity. Here is the analysis:<\/p> The Real Madrid striker was sanctioned with two matches after being sent off in the match against Valencia on January 3, 2025<\/a><\/strong>. The incident occurred in the 79th minute, when the Brazilian deliberately hit goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski in the head during an action without disputing the ball. According to the report of referee C\u00e9sar Soto Grado<\/strong>, the action was classified as “sports violence” and not as aggression, which avoided a greater sanction of between 4 and 12 matches according to article 103 of the RFEF Disciplinary Code.<\/p> On that occasion, in a match also directed by Soto Grado, the writing of the report allowed the Real Madrid player to be sanctioned only with 2 matches and play in the Spanish Super Cup<\/a><\/strong>. This case is similar to Mbapp\u00e9’s in terms of severity, although Vin\u00edcius’ aggression occurred outside the context of the game.<\/p> The Real Madrid midfielder was sanctioned with two matches<\/strong> after being sent off in the match against Osasuna on February 15. The decision was made by the Disciplinary Committee of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), which described his behavior as “disrespect or disregard” towards referee Jos\u00e9 Luis Munuera Montero. The incident occurred in the 40th minute of the match, when Bellingham was sent off for addressing the referee with the phrase “fuck you”<\/a><\/strong>, as recorded in the referee’s report.<\/p> However, the player denied having insulted the referee and stated that his words were misinterpreted. According to Bellingham, what he really said was “fuck off”<\/strong>, an expression that, according to him, was not directed at the referee but was a personal reaction. Real Madrid presented video and expert evidence to try to demonstrate this version, but the Committee rejected the club’s allegations.<\/p> Conclusion<\/strong><\/p> The expected sanction for Mbapp\u00e9 (2 to 3 matches) seems to align with recent precedents of Real Madrid players in LaLiga<\/strong>. However, the comparisons highlight inconsistencies in the criteria applied by the Disciplinary Committee. This reflects how factors such as the referee’s interpretation, the use of VAR and the context of the foul can significantly influence the final decisions.<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The sanction for Mbapp\u00e9 will be minimal after the ‘adulteration’ of the report of his expulsion against Alav\u00e9s.
