Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the incident, the rules, and Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s chances of playing in the Copa del Rey final.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" dir=\"auto\">What happened during Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s red card incident?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"break-words\" dir=\"auto\">In the 38th minute of Real Madrid\u2019s clash with Alav\u00e9s at Estadio de Mendizorroza, Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 lunged into a reckless challenge on midfielder Antonio Blanco. The tackle was late, high, and dangerous, prompting referee Juan Mart\u00ednez Munuera to issue a straight red card after a VAR review. The decision left Real Madrid with 10 players for over 50 minutes and fueled discussions about the severity of Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"break-words\" dir=\"auto\">The tackle was widely criticized, with fans and pundits calling it a rare lapse in judgment from the usually composed forward. Social media posts on X described the challenge as \u201ccriminal\u201d and speculated about its consequences, particularly for the upcoming Copa del Rey final against Barcelona.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" dir=\"auto\">Will Mbapp\u00e9 be banned in the Copa del Rey final vs Barcelona?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"break-words\" dir=\"auto\">According to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) regulations, suspensions from La Liga matches typically do not carry over to Copa del Rey fixtures unless the ban exceeds three games. For Mbapp\u00e9 to miss the Copa del Rey final, the referee\u2019s report must classify his tackle as a \u201cserious offense,\u201d warranting a suspension of four or more matches.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">As of now, the RFEF has not announced the length of Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s ban, leaving fans anxiously awaiting the official verdict.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kylian Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s shocking red card in Real Madrid\u2019s La Liga match against Alav\u00e9s has sparked intense debate among football fans,\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":217,"featured_media":36522,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[2236,449],"class_list":["post-15190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-copa-del-rey","tag-kylian-mbappe"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/217"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15190"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15190\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
