Kylian Mbappé has been sanctioned with a one-match suspension following his expulsion against Deportivo Alavés.
The Real Madrid striker was given a red card after a harsh tackle on Antonio Blanco.
The French player will not be able to play against Athletic Club at the Santiago Bernabéu, but his participation in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona is not in jeopardy.
The Disciplinary Committee has chosen to apply the minimum possible punishment to Mbappé, in a sanction that could have reached up to three matches.
"In the 38th minute, player (9) Mbappe Lottin, Kylian was expelled for the following reason: For entering with his foot in a plank position at the height of the shin of an opponent, in the dispute of the ball, using excessive force".
The one in Vitoria is Mbappé's fourth expulsion in his career. He was previously given a red card in the 2018-19 French Cup final against Rennes, in the 2017-18 French Cup against Rennes, and in the French league against Nimes in 2018.
