Real Madrid Wins Amid Red Cards and Coaching Challenges

Real Madrid secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Alaves, keeping them four points behind Barcelona in La Liga. Eduardo Camavinga scored the decisive goal with a curling shot, while Kylian Mbappe's red card for a reckless tackle added pressure on his team. The match saw both teams reduced to 10 men after Alaves' Manu Sanchez was also sent off for a foul on Vinicius Junior. Assistant coach Davide Ancelotti led Madrid in place of his suspended father, Carlo Ancelotti, emphasizing the importance of the victory despite the challenges faced. The win extended Real Madrid's successful run against Alaves, marking their fifth consecutive victory at Mendizorroza Stadium. Mbappe's suspension could impact upcoming crucial matches, including the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona.
