Oman today_ Real Madrid won 3-0 in their home game against Brest, France, securing a spot in the top eight teams of the Champions League knockout stage, all without Vinícius Júnior in the lineup. Vinícius was suspended due to three yellow cards and will need to be more cautious moving forward, as per UEFA’s new rules. A player who accumulates three yellow cards is suspended for the next match. With each additional yellow card, Vinícius will face complications in the later stages of the Champions League.
Additionally, Real Madrid is concerned about Jude Bellingham, who has received two yellow cards. One more yellow card would lead to a suspension. If Bellingham can avoid further bookings, he will enter the next stages with a clean disciplinary record.
