Aurélien Tchouaméni Wins with Real Madrid
Aurélien Tchouaméni scored the equaliser in Real Madrid's 2-1 win over Benfica on Wednesday.
The France international helped his team progress to the round of 16.
Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni believes it was a "victory for all of us" that Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni did not feature in the game.
Prestianni was provisionally suspended for one match by UEFA following allegations he racially abused Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior.
The suspension was upheld after UEFA rejected Benfica's last-minute appeal.
Tchouaméni was full of praise for Vinícius, who scored Madrid's winner on Wednesday.
Vinícius celebrated by dancing by the corner flag, just like he had done after scoring in the first leg.
Tchouaméni took home the player of the match award for a second straight game in the Champions League.
Tchouaméni's goal was his first of the season, and he expressed happiness with his performance.
He said he has a lot of confidence and tries to do his best in every game.
Madrid fans displayed a banner against racism before the game, showing their support for Vinícius.
And Tchouaméni's equaliser was a crucial moment in the match.
But the win was a team effort, with several players contributing to the result.
So Tchouaméni's performance was just one part of a larger success.
The match was played on Wednesday, with a final score of 2-1 in favour of Real Madrid.
Tchouaméni's goal came as a result of his hard work and dedication to the team.
He has been an important player for Real Madrid this season, and his performance on Wednesday was no exception.
