Aurélien Tchouameni entered the history of the Blues in his own way last night during the match against Belgium (2-1). The Real Madrid midfielder became the first French player, since Zinedine Zidane in the 2006 World Cup final against Italy, to receive a red card after starting a match as captain. Even if his expulsion will surely be less legendary than that which occurred after the legendary headbutt of ‘Zizou’ on Marco Materazzi.
Another statistic, synonymous this time with the great discipline of Didier Deschamps’ French team, the red received by Tchouameni in the victory against the Belgians (2-1) is the first for a Blue in three years. The latest was collected by Jules Koundé in 2021 against Bosnia-Herzegovina. For his second as interim captain of the Blues, the player trained in Bordeaux had undoubtedly not imagined this scenario.
