Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni received a direct red card in the match against Iceland. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The 25-year-old player left the field in the 68th minute of the 2026 World Cup qualifying match. Nevertheless, the French team won 2-1 despite being a man down.
According to Opta data, Tchouaméni became the first player in the France national team to receive two red cards, a record that has been observed since Zinedine Zidane's era. Aurélien Tchouaméni's previous sending off was in last year's match against Belgium.
Zidane received red cards in 1998 and 2006. Currently, the Real Madrid midfielder has three goals and three assists in 43 appearances for the France national team.
Tchouaméni's performance on the field is making an important contribution to the team.
