Mbappe red card for kicking Antonio Blanco's leg was a huge blow to Real Madrid, who were struggling to close in on Barcelona in the title race. The foul should not have been committed because Real Madrid were not under pressure. Whether the violation was intentional or not, what is clear is that he cannot strengthen Real Madrid in the next match. Losing Mbappe is very detrimental to Real Madrid because they have to lose their mainstay player at a crucial time, especially in the last few matches, their front line has been very unproductive.
Carlo Ancelotti handling the whole situation with his experience, he's been a big supporting pillar for Madrid. Who wouldn't want to make moves to be his position as manager? I guess nobody, do you know what it means to lead an elite team like Real Madrid? Madrid are defending champion in the UCL. What are we saying here? Kylian Mbappe is expected to start tonight, the Red card issued out to him in their previous La Liga game was totally not expected but it is what it is, these things do happen. But atleast, Real Madrid still succeed to grab three solid winning point despite been dropped to 10 men. Today is the D-day for Real Madrid hosting Arsenal in Santiago Bernabéu. We've watch alot of things coming to an end so swiftly for Madrid.
We can say that they are playing the most important match of the year for Real Madrid. They will play a life-or-death match against Arsenal. Arsenal had crushed Real Madrid in England in the first match and perhaps played an unforgettable match. Declan Rice was the architect of the victory with two magnificent free-kick goals. All eyes will be on him today. Also, Mbappé should show that he is a great player in this match. Because those who carry teams in such critical matches are great players. Right now, the French player is Real Madrid's biggest weapon.
