Official.. Mbappe will miss Real Madrid’s first match in La Liga next season

It is not yet known if Kylian Mbappe will play for Real Madrid, but if he ends up joining the white club, he will not be able to make his first league match with his new club. The French striker carries a Ligue 1 sanction that extends to La Liga under FIFA legislation in this regard.

It happened in PSG’s last game, away to Montpellier, and it went almost unnoticed. In the last minutes of the match, which the French champion won with a comfortable score (0-4), the player saw a yellow card that required a one-match suspension because it was his third card in the last 10 matches.

The penalty, confirmed by the French Federation, takes effect from next week. In other words, it will not prevent the player from participating in the weekend match between Paris Saint-Germain and Metz at the Parc des Princes, in what could be his farewell match to the Parisian club.

So the penalty will be carried out in the first match of next season, whether the player remains in Ligue 1 as a PSG player or ends up changing to La Liga after joining Real Madrid. It would, of course, be a strange way to start his journey as a Real Madrid player.

FIFA rules confirm that “any disciplinary sanction of a maximum of 4 matches or 3 months that was imposed on a player by his previous association but was not exhausted prior to his transfer, must be applied by the new association under which the player is registered. “.
