Real Madrid Midfielder Ruled Out of Manchester City Clash Due to Suspension

Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni faced a setback early in their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal clash against Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Within minutes of kickoff, Tchouameni received a yellow card for a challenge on Jack Grealish.

Unfortunately, this booking means he will miss the second leg of the quarterfinal tie next week at the Etihad Stadium.

Before tonight’s match, Tchouameni was already carrying two yellow cards in the Champions League season.

With this additional booking, his tally now stands at three, resulting in a one-match suspension.

His absence will be keenly felt by Real Madrid, as he has played a crucial role in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans this season.

To compound matters, Manchester City capitalized on the resulting free-kick from Tchouameni’s foul, taking the lead at the Bernabeu.

However, Eduardo Camavinga, Tchouameni’s compatriot, leveled the score with a deflected strike ten minutes later, making it 1-1.

And just a minute after that, Rodrygo’s goal put the hosts ahead in what promises to be an exciting contest between two European giants.
