Real Madrid could be without a key player for next month UCL final showdown at London due devastating injury.
Real Madrid’s Champions League final aspirations have been dealt a significant blow with the potential absence of Aurelien Tchouameni due to a left foot injury.
A statement from the club read: “After the tests carried out today on our player Aurélien Tchouameni by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a stress injury in his left foot. Evolution pending.”
Carlo Ancelotti’s team secured their spot in the final with a memorable late 2-1 fightback victory against German Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Real Madrid who are eyeing their 15th Champions League title, will now face another German side Borussia Dortmund in the final showdown at Wembley on June 1.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti lauded the team’s resilience and unexpected accomplishments this season but expressed disappointment regarding his key midfielder Tchouameni’s setback.
Albeit the setback, Ancelotti remains optimistic, emphasizing the team’s ability to overcome challenges and the support of their fans.
Speaking after the match, Madrid boss Ancelotti said: “It’s happened again. Something that has happened time after time, which is inexplicable, has happened again.
“A set of fans who drive us, a stadium that supports us, a stunning atmosphere and a group of players who believe. It’s magical. We played well, I think it was a tough game but we had control, we didn’t lose our heads when they scored and we got back into it.”
He added: “I’d like to the fans, the club and above all, the players, they’ve delivered a season nobody expected, myself included. I didn’t imagine that this squad would be capable of what they’ve achieved.
“Making the final… we’re going to have a great time with the fans because we’re going to celebrate La Liga in the coming days, I want a time to celebrate, to go to Cibeles. There’s a happiness which is contagious for the players.”
Real Madrid’s journey to the final has been marked by remarkable performances and a sense of unity among players and supporters alike.
As they prepare for the final showdown, can they draw upon their collective strength and determination to pursue glory on the European stage.
