Tchouaméni and Huijsen, warned by Real Madrid in Lisbon

The French midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni and the Spanish central defender Dean Huijsen arrive as warned for the first leg of the 2025-26 Champions League playoff, so if they see a yellow card they would miss the return match at the Santiago Bernabéu next week.

The danger of suspension due to a cycle of yellow cards – there are three in the case of the Champions League – already looms over up to five Real Madrid players. However, he is a real threat to only two of them, Tchouaméni and Huijsen, who are the only ones available for Salamanca coach Álvaro Arbeloa.

The Englishman Jude Bellingham could also miss the second leg of this tie, which will be played on February 25 at the Bernabéu, now with two yellow cards, but the midfielder is injured and is out for the first leg in Lisbon this Tuesday. Raúl Asencio and Rodrygo Goes also have two yellow cards, but both were sent off in the last match of the league phase and will now serve a suspension.
