Sunday, April 13, 2025, delivered a dramatic day of football across Europe, filled with major turning points in both La Liga and the Premier League.
⚪ Real Madrid: Precious Win, but Mbappé Sees Red
Real Madrid secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Alavés, with the decisive goal scored by Eduardo Camavinga.
However, the spotlight was on Kylian Mbappé, who was sent off in the 38th minute for a dangerous tackle on Antonio Blanco.
Originally shown a yellow card, the decision was upgraded to a straight red after VAR review.
This dismissal could lead to a three-match suspension, potentially ruling Mbappé out of the Copa del Rey final against FC Barcelona (source).
🔴 Liverpool Come Back to Beat West Ham
At Anfield, Liverpool came from behind to defeat West Ham United 2-1.
Goals from Mohamed Salah and Darwin Núñez turned the tide in favor of the Reds.
This win helps Liverpool stay firmly in the Premier League title race.
⚫ Manchester United Collapse at Newcastle
Manchester United were thrashed 4-1 by Newcastle United at St. James’ Park.
This heavy defeat piles pressure on manager Ruben Amorim, whose win rate now stands at just 38%.
It’s the lowest for any United manager with 30+ games since Frank O’Farrell in 1972.
