Real Madrid assistant coach Davide Ancelotti said that Kylian Mbappé has apologized after he was shown a straight red card for a reckless challenge in the first half of Real Madrid's nervy 1-0 LaLiga win at Alavés on Sunday, adding the forward is "aware of the mistake he made."
Madrid had just taken the lead in the 34th minute with an Eduardo Camavinga goal -- after Raúl Asencio had an earlier goal disallowed for a foul -- when Mbappé was dismissed in the 38th minute, after a VAR check, for his high tackle on midfielder Antonio Blanco.
The player count was leveled in the second half, after Vinícius Júnior was caught on the calf by defender Manu Sánchez, who also was sent off.
"Kylian isn't a violent lad for sure; he's said sorry, he's aware of the mistake he made," said Davide Ancelotti, who is the son of Madrid boss Carlo. "It's a clear red-card challenge, and he's suffered the consequences.
"All the little fouls they committed on him made him react in that way. It wasn't the right way, I'm not justifying it, but that's what happened."
Mbappé's red card was his first since joining Madrid last summer. Previously, he was sent off three times for Paris Saint-Germain -- once in Ligue 1 and twice in cup competitions.
Madrid must now await news on the length of Mbappé's ban from the Spanish football federation, with the forward likely to miss upcoming league games against Athletic Club and Getafe.
