Camavinga's Goal Secures Win as Mbappé Sees Red in Real Madrid’s Narrow Victory Over Alaves
Real Madrid edged past Alaves with a narrow 1-0 win in their latest La Liga fixture on Sunday, April 13, 2025. Eduardo Camavinga's goal in the 34th minute proved decisive in a match that also saw KylianMbappé sent off in the first half.
The game, despite its low scoreline, offered several notable takeaways:
• Federico Valverde has now become the most frequently featured player across Europe’s top five leagues this season, appearing in 50 matches. He also leads in the number of starts (47), a record he shares with YouriTielemans and DiogoDalot.
• KylianMbappé made an unfortunate mark in Real Madrid history by becoming only the second striker since the year 2000 to receive a red card in the first half of a La Liga match. The first was Ruud van Nistelrooy during a Madrid derby against Atletico in 2008.
• This was just the second red card in Mbappé’s senior career. His first came while playing for Paris Saint-Germain.
• The previous dismissal occurred during the 2018-2019 season in a match against Nîmes on September 1, 2018, when he was shown a straight red.
• As for his current suspension, Mbappé is expected to face a two-match ban. However, given that the referee viewed his tackle as an attempt to play the ball rather than an act of aggression, a heavier punishment seems unlikely, though the Spanish football federation still has the final say.
