BREAKING: Mbappé Discloses Heated Exchange with Ancelotti After Red Card Incident
Kylian Mbappé has spoken out about a tense post-match interaction with Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, following his red card in the match against Deportivo Alavés. The French star was dismissed for a harsh tackle on Nahuel Tenaglia and later opened up about his disappointment—not just with the incident, but with Ancelotti’s remarks afterward.
Mbappé Acknowledges Mistake, But Questions Manager’s Reaction
Speaking at a press conference, Mbappé admitted his tackle was questionable and accepted the referee’s decision. However, he expressed strong disapproval of Ancelotti’s comments after the game.
“I understand the decision, and maybe the tackle was too much. But what Ancelotti said to me afterward—that’s not something I can accept from any coach,” he said.
The 25-year-old detailed how the conversation went beyond football, leaving him hurt.
Clash of Words with Ancelotti
According to Mbappé, Ancelotti criticized him for being overly emotional and urged him to show more self-control. While Mbappé acknowledged the need for composure, he felt the tone and approach crossed a line.
“It wasn’t just advice—it felt like an attack on who I am. I’ve always carried myself as a professional. I respect Carlo, but respect needs to go both ways,” he explained.
Club’s Internal Response and Team Support
Although Ancelotti has yet to publicly respond, sources suggest he intended to challenge Mbappé constructively. Real Madrid’s leadership is expected to manage the situation privately to prevent it from impacting team unity.
Meanwhile, Mbappé’s teammates have shown strong support, backing his passion and commitment to the club’s goals.
Mbappé Focused on Moving Forward
Despite the emotional exchange, Mbappé is looking ahead. He’s determined to put the incident behind him and continue contributing to Real Madrid’s pursuit of trophies.
“My focus is on the team and on winning. That’s all that matters now,” he said.
With high-stakes matches approaching in both La Liga and the Champions League, all eyes will be on Mbappé’s response on the pitch.
