Mbappe’s One-match Ban Sets Bad Example, Says Barca VP Of Sports Rafael Yuste
Sports Rafael Yuste: Rafa Yuste, FC Barcelona’s vice president of sport, has harshly criticised a decision by La Liga’s Disciplinary Committee to give Kylian Mbappe a one-game ban after his horror challenge in the game against Alaves. Mbappe was sent off for a lunge on Alaves midfielder Antonio Blanco. The referee's report stated Mbappe was sent off for violent conduct, which results in a punishment of between one to three matches.
A three-match ban would have seen Mbappe miss the Copa del Rey final against their El Clasico rivals on April 26.
"I would say it's absolutely absurd. A shocking tackle that could have injured the opponent and is completely disproportionate. If it had been one of our players, which they wouldn't do because they're clean, very sporting players.
