Ethan Mbappé Faces Possible Five-Match UEFA Ban After Red Card Against Real Betis

Lille midfielder Ethan Mbappé could face a lengthy UEFA suspension after receiving a straight red card in Tuesday’s 3-2 Champions League defeat to Real Betis. The 19-year-old was sent off in the 56th minute after VAR reviewed an incident in which he raised his arm into defender Natan’s face. The referee initially missed the incident before being asked to review it. Mbappé will miss Lille’s next Champions League match against Arsenal. UEFA could impose a three-game ban, or up to five matches if its disciplinary body classifies the incident as severe aggression.
