Moroccan footballer sanctioned because of Kylian Mbappé

Luis Garcia Plaza, coach of Deportivo Alavés, has apparently imposed a disciplinary sanction on Moroccan defender Abdel Abqar during the match between his club and Real Madrid which ended in a last-gasp victory for the Merengues because of French international Kylian Mbappé.

On Tuesday, Real Madrid beat Alavés (3-2), in a hard-fought match in the 7th day of La Liga at the Santiago Bernabéu. But an unusual scene filmed caught the attention of the fans. While the Merengues were heading to the locker room “with a two-goal lead (2-0), Kylian Mbappé, who had scored a few minutes earlier (40′), gave his jersey to one of his direct opponents of the evening, the Moroccan central defender, Abdel Abqar”. The Moroccan international asked him to.
