Real Madrid face a disciplinary dilemma before their Champions League first‑leg clash with Benfica. Midfielder Aurélien Tchouameni, defender Dean Huijsen and defender Álvaro Carreras each carry two yellow cards in the competition, meaning a caution tonight would trigger a one‑match ban for the return leg at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The Spanish giants, who beat Real Sociedad 4‑1 to build momentum, will need the trio to stay on the pitch as they seek to overturn a 4‑2 defeat suffered at Estadio da Luz last month.
