Madrid: Real Madrid returned to winning ways in the 2024-25 La Liga season with a narrow 1-0 victory away to Deportivo Alav©s – but the result was overshadowed by a moment of madness from Kylian Mbapp©, APA reports. The only goal of the match came in the first half, with French midfielder Eduardo Camavinga calmly slotting home to give Los Blancos a crucial three points in the title race.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the spotlight quickly shifted to Mbapp©, who was shown a straight red card for a reckless high challenge on Antonio Blanco. The incident left Real Madrid down to ten men for the remainder of the game, adding pressure to their defensive efforts. Despite the setback, Real Madrid managed to hold onto their lead, securing a vital win in their quest for the La Liga title.

The match was marked by intense moments, with both teams fighting hard for control. However, it was Camavinga’s composed finish that ultimately separated the two sides. The young midfielder’s performance was a highlight for Real Madrid, showcasing his talent and importance in the squad.

Mbapp©’s red card, however, is likely to be a talking point for weeks to come, as it not only affected the dynamics of the match but also raised questions about player conduct and discipline on the field. Real Madrid will now have to cope without the star forward in their upcoming fixtures, a challenge that could impact their attacking prowess.
