Real Madrid Face City Rivals Atlético in the first stage of the Champions League round of 16 collision in the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday.
Jude Bellingham will be an important absentee for Real Madrid, because the Englishman is excluded from the first stage of the Champions League round of 16 against Atlético because of the suspension.
The former central player of Dortmund received his third yellow card from the tournament against Man City in the Playoff round that reigns him from Tuesday's Madrid Derby and absence is a bitter blow to Ancelotti's side.
During the Santiago collision of Bernabeu, however, five other Real Madrid players will have to be on their best behavior with another yellow card for one of the quintet, she would set aside on Wednesday for the return leg in the Metropolitano.
Rüdiger, Tchouameni, Camavinga, Modric and Endrick will all keep an eye on their step in the Bernabéu with the threat of suspension that also hangs over the Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, who also saw two yellowings (in the matches against Stuttgart and Brest).
How are yellow cards served in the Champions League?
UEFA regulations that apply to the Champions League, Europa League and the Conference League see a ban of one match imposed on players who build up three yellow cards during the competition. Lucas Vázquez (against Salzburg) and Vinicius (against Brest) have already served a ban on one match for this reason.
Madrid, the second most booked UCL team
Real Madrid is the team with the second most yellow cards so far in this Champions League. Los Blancos players have received 25 yellow cards in 10 games. Bologna, eliminated in the competition phase, received 28 yellow cards in 8 games.
