Captain of the French team at kick-off, then sent off for a gross foul just before the 80th minute, Aurélien Tchouaméni had a delicate evening, Thursday against Belgium (1-2).
For his second start as captain of the France team, Aurélien Tchouaméni did not even make it to the end of the match. Thursday against Belgium, the French defensive midfielder was sent off in the 76th minute after mowing down Youri Tielemans who was going alone on goal at (1-2).
Intentionally or not, the Real Madrid player brought down his opponent near the area. Already warned of a yellow card, Tchouaméni collected his second toast of the game to finally be excluded.
In the French team, it has been a while since the captain received a red card. Opta reminds us that we have to go back to 2006 to find such an event for the Blues.
The last captain of the France team to receive a red card was none other than Zinédine Zidane, during the 2006 World Cup final.
As for the last French player who was excluded from a match, it is Jules Koundé, against Bosnia in September 2021.
