Real Madrid are confident Kylian Mbappe will be handed no more than a two game ban for his red card against Alaves.
Los Blancos kept up the La Liga title pressure on Barcelona with a scrappy 1-0 win on the road in Basque Country thanks to Eduardo Camavinga’s first half goal.
However, the main talking point was Mbappe’s first red card in Spanish football, following a reckless challenge on Antonio Blanco just before the break.
Following a VAR review, Mbappe was dismissed by match referee Juan Martinez Munuera, as the away side fought on with a man less in Vitoria.
Images at the Estadio Mendizorroza after the game show Mbappe seeking out Blanco to apologise for the incident with the Alaves player seeming to accept that.
Real Madrid will now await an update from La Liga and the RFEF over Mbappe’s incoming suspension but he will be available for their midweek UEFA Champions League quarter final second-leg against Arsenal.
The latest indication is that Mbappe will be given a two-game suspension, based on reports from El Mundo, which cite Martinez Munuera’s report as claiming Mbappe was ‘making an attempt for the ball’.
That is not expected to be deemed as violent conduct and will likely mean two league games on the sidelines for him with league games against Athletic Club and Getafe incoming.
Fans concerned over Mbappe potentially missing the Copa del Rey final with Barcelona on April 26 have seen their fears eased based on RFEF suspension rules.
Unless Mbappe’s ban is upgraded to four games or more – reserved for the most serious offences – it cannot be applied to Copa del Rey games.
A firm update could arrive before the Arsenal match but Mbappe is on course for a 10-day break before taking on La Blaugrana in their final showdown in Sevilla later this month.

I have not seen fans as stupid as Barca fans, like in I always say if every fans sensible then who is going to be Barca fans. senseless people out there support Barca. because he is a Madrid player the punishment should be different. the same mpabbe was tackle even worse than this against espanyol even when the guy knew he couldn't reach the ball and mpabbe was through to clear goal chance , it was only a yellow card. and that same player scored the only goal of the match. non of u saw the way alaves players were fouling mpabbe n the ref refuse to give foul and he he was elbowed on one occasion u guys kept mute. Bellingham was red carded for insulting an official he was red carded but raphinha did same guess what only yellow card. raphinha run his mouth against Argentina and even when they play 1 all draw he was arguing and fighting all through out the match. u guys said he does not like to loose , he is a warrior and a fighter but if it were mpabbe vinicius or Bellingham, the same Barca fans will say they are arrogant,they misbehave and think are better than anyone but as long as is Barca player they will find a word to suite their fight. that is y I will always say every senseless person out there are Barca fans
Such a frustrating season for madrid, lol.

Not only was the ball played almost 2 seconds before rhe tackle, Mbappe foot was raised to such a level, that wouldn't have reached the ball even if we were not 2sek late. There is no way, this was a play for the ball, and anything other than a tentative to hurt the other player.

This isn't any serious offense. 1-2 game ban is ideal. I was bitter when he was red carded

In League play, they should really review this. Mbappe is looking to hurt people while Vinicius insults them.
