League of Nations. Aurélien Tchouaméni, first captain of the Blues sent off… since Zidane

On Monday, October 14, France Belgium 2-1 on the 4th day of the League of Nations, despite Aurélien Tchouaméni’s red card a quarter of an hour from the end. According to Opta, this is the first sending off of a captain of the French team (at kick-off) since Zinedine Zidane’s famous headbutt on Marco Materazzi in the 2006 World Cup final.

We had to wait 18 years… But in the end the result was happier. On Monday, October 14, the French team challenged Belgium in Brussels as part of the 4th day of the League of Nations. A that resulted in a hard-fought victory for Deschamps’, 2-1.

In the good memory of Zinedine Zidane

A happy victory for the Blues who played ten against eleven during the last quarter of an hour after the logical expulsion of their captain Aurélien Tchouaméni. The Real Madrid midfielder was guilty of a gross foul on Tielemans as the last defender (76′).
