Madrid Stars Risk Suspension Against Benfica

Three Real Madrid players are one yellow card away from suspension ahead of tonight's Champions League clash with Benfica.

Defenders Dean Huijsen and Alvaro Carreras, along with midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, all face potential bans for the second leg if they receive bookings in tonight's first leg at Estadio da Luz.

The trio, all regular starters for Carlo Ancelotti's side, must maintain discipline as they aim to help Real Madrid advance past the Portuguese side in this crucial knockout playoff tie.
