Real Madrid did not leave a good impression after their crushing defeat to Barcelona, which put Carlo Ancelotti’s men in the spotlight.
It was a bad night for Real Madrid on Saturday, losing 0-4 to Barcelona in the eleventh round of the league, which made the domestic competition even more complicated, with the Catalans now six points ahead of the Whites.
It is essential for Ancelotti that the doubts raised by the midfielder reach the highest levels, and the spotlight has once again been on Tchouameni after the Clásico.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central,” there are several players who are at the center of the discussion, but one seems to be in a more delicate situation: the board will closely monitor Tchouameni’s performance in the upcoming matches, as the player could leave sooner than expected.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team started the match well and could have scored several goals during the first half. Then the Italian coach decided to return to the 4-4-2 formation, with four players in midfield, and the duo Vinicius and Mbappé up front.
In midfield, Aurelien Tchouameni, who has also played as a central defender in recent matches due to the obvious problems in the team’s defensive line, was in the spotlight.
The French midfielder put in another poor performance, which led to his substitution and booing from some fans at the Santiago Bernabéu. Although Madrid do not plan to sell him, his poor performances in big matches have clearly put him under scrutiny.
Tchouameni, who moved to Madrid two years ago for around 90 million euros, has a good reputation in the Premier League, where several teams are watching him, although the season is still long and there are plenty of opportunities for him to prove himself.
