Carlo Ancelotti will have to explore other options in the center of the field.

As part of the twenty-third round of the Spanish La Liga, Real Madrid will hold a home derby against Atletico.

It was already clear from the previous round that Carlo Ancelotti’s team would not be able to help the key support midfielder Aurelien Chuameni in the upcoming game..

The reason for this is banal - the 24-year-old Frenchman, through breaking the rules against his opponent, took away the fifth card in the current season in the match against Getafe (2:0) on 90+2 matches.

This advance automatically led to the disqualification of Chuamena for the nearest team, but on the same evening Real Madrid submitted to the Disciplinary Committee of the Royal Football Federation of Spain an appeal against the referee's decision.

Just two minutes before the start of the match at Santiago Bernabeu at the address of the “royal” club, the club received confirmation that the decision of the head referee Ricardo De Burgos Bengoechea from Bilbao will no longer be valid.

Thus, Chuamen will be left with disqualifications on the basis of the principle that each team needs to take revenge both for the defeat in the first round (1:3), and for the recent exit from the Spanish Cup.

The match between Real Madrid and Atletico will be fierce, about 22:00.
