Kylian Mbappe’s Brother, Ethan Gets Red Card in UCL Match Against Real Betis
On Tuesday, Lille midfielder Ethan Mbappe received a straight red card during his team's Champions League match against Real Betis after a VAR review confirmed he elbowed Brazilian defender Natan in the face.
The incident occurred in the 55th minute shortly after Betis took a 3-2 lead, with replays showing the teenager elbowed Natan after the defender presumably triggered him with verbal comments.
At 19 years and 253 days, Mbappe became the youngest player to receive a red card in the Champions League for a French club. He had earlier assisted Japan international Ayase Ueda's opening goal.
Real Betis secured a 3-2 victory in the opening match of the new Champions League season, with Lille unable to recover after the midfielder's expulsion in their group stage debut.
Ethan's older brother, Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe, scored in a 2-1 victory over Inter Milan, marking a mixed day for the Mbappe family on the football field.
