Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe received harsh treatment during the game against Alaves, culminating in a red card for a dangerous foul on Antonio Blanco. Despite the incident, Mbappe is likely to avoid a ban for the Copa del Rey final. Real Madrid President Florentino Perez and manager Carlo Ancelotti addressed the issue with Mbappe, emphasizing the importance of his performance in the upcoming Champions League match against Arsenal.
In preparation for the crucial fixtures ahead, Ancelotti delivered a motivational speech to the squad, highlighting the significance of their season and the need for a standout performance. With Real Madrid's prospects in the Champions League and La Liga looking uncertain, Ancelotti's future at the club may hinge on the team's success in securing silverware.
