Four headline members of the first-team setup at La Liga giants Real Madrid will be forced to walk the disciplinary tightrope on Wednesday night.
This comes with the quartet all in danger of picking up a Champions League suspension.
Carlo Ancelotti’s Real will of course mark their return to action on the continent tomorrow evening, when they make the trip to England for the 2nd leg of their quarter-final showdown with Manchester City.
Los Blancos, as expected, have named a strong travelling squad for the fixture, featuring all but Aurélien Tchouaméni (suspended), David Alaba and Thibaut Courtois (injured).
In their efforts to send the reigning holders packing from the competition, though, four such members of the capital giants’ squad will need to watch their step.
The players in question come in the form of Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Vinícius Jr, and Dani Carvajal.
Should any of these four be shown a yellow card at The Etihad, they will be facing up to a one-game suspension.
As much, in turn, would rule them out of the ensuing Champions League semi-final first-leg, in the case of Real Madrid advancing beyond Man City.
