Real Madrid: Tchouaméni suspended for the return leg against Bayern Munich in Germany
Booked in the first leg against Bayern, Aurélien Tchouaméni will miss the Champions League quarter-final return leg, depriving Real Madrid of a key man in a decisive match.
Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni has been handed a one-match ban in the Champions League. The French international will thus miss the Champions League quarter-final return leg against Bayern Munich, scheduled for next week at the Allianz Arena. This ban follows the yellow card he received in the 2-1 defeat to Bayern in the first leg, played at the Santiago Bernabéu. A caution triggering an automatic suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
At 26 years old, Tchouaméni is a key part of Madrid’s midfield this season. His absence represents a heavy blow for the Spanish club as it approaches a decisive meeting that will determine who advances to the semi-finals. Facing the Bavarian powerhouse, Real Madrid will have to cope without one of its pillars, in a context where every detail could weigh heavily on the balance.
