Real Madrid megastar at suspension risk heading into Alaves clash

In their first match since being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid face off against Deportivo Alaves later tonight at the Santiago Bernabeu in Matchday 32 of La Liga.

Already nine points behind leaders Barcelona, Los Blancos need a miracle in order to stand any chance of mounting a late push for the title.

However, there is still plenty left to play for, with futures of a number of players as well as manager Alvaro Arbeloa on the line.

Kylian Mbappe, meanwhile, will have his sights set on another Pichichi Trophy triumph as he currently leads the La Liga scoring charts.

Indeed, Mbappe is currently on four yellow cards in La Liga and another booking tonight would make it five, earning him an automatic one-match ban for accumulation of cards.

It would leave the 27-year-old attacker suspended for the league clash against Real Betis on Friday night.
