Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni addressed reporters following a 1-0 win against Juventus in Champions League group stage action at Santiago Bernabeu. The French international said the club achieved its objective of securing maximum points from three opening fixtures. He praised goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois for preserving a clean sheet against determined Italian opposition that defended with discipline and organization.
Tchouameni explained his tactical role shifts based on which teammates join him in the center of the park. He operates with greater positional discipline alongside Arda Guler and Jude Bellingham but enjoys more freedom to rotate when partnered with Eduardo Camavinga. The 24-year-old acknowledged that Barcelona presents a significant challenge ahead, but emphasized that Madrid enters the fixture in strong form and must demonstrate improvement from previous encounters between the rivals.
