Atlético-Real Madrid: The Yellow Threat in the Classic
Atlético de Madrid is preparing for an exciting match against Real Madrid at the Metropolitano. However, the shadow of suspensions looms over the rival team. Five key Real Madrid players are on the verge of suspension, which could significantly affect their lineup in a hypothetical next round.
Rüdiger, Tchouameni, Camavinga, Modric and Endrick must be careful not to receive a yellow card in this crucial match, as they would accumulate their third warning and miss the next match. Pressure also falls on coach Carlo Ancelotti, who is also cautioned.
Real Madrid, along with Benfica, is one of the most cautioned teams in the competition, with a total of 26 yellow cards in 11 matches. UEFA regulations are clear: three yellow cards mean a one-match suspension, and the cycles are repeated every two cards from the fifth onwards.
This situation could be decisive for the development of the match and Real Madrid’s aspirations in the competition. Atlético has a golden opportunity to take advantage of this situation and advance in the tournament!
