Kylian Mbappé has apologized for the ugly tackle when he set his studs in Antonio Blanco's shin in the La Liga match between Alavés and Real Madrid.
It was a tough tackle, but he has apologized, which is the most important thing, says midfielder Blanco, according to Marca.
The French attacking star initially received a yellow card. After a VAR review, he was shown the red and sent off the pitch after 37 minutes of play.
Kylian is not a violent guy, and he has apologized, says Davide Ancelotti, who led the team in place of dad Carlo Ancelotti.
Antonio Blanco continued playing after the tackle but was substituted later in the second half. Real Madrid won 1–0 after a goal by Eduardo Camavinga just before Mbappé's sending off.
