Aurelien Tchouameni focused on the present as Real Madrid prepare for El Clasico

Aurelien Tchouameni believes history holds no weight when Real Madrid face Barcelona this time.

Following Los Blancos’ narrow 1-0 victory over Juventus, the French midfielder turned his focus toward the biggest game in Spanish football with a calm but determined tone.

“The Clasico? It doesn’t matter what happened last season,” the midfielder said post-match.

“We’re in a good moment and we have to prove it against Barcelona.”

Tchouameni’s confidence reflects the shift in energy at Real Madrid under Xabi Alonso. The team showed complete control against Juventus, creating wave after wave of pressure, even though the final scoreline failed to tell the full story.

Since the start of the season, Tchouameni has quietly become the spine of Madrid’s midfield, dictating play with his intelligence and strength. His performances have been crucial in helping Madrid rediscover their rhythm and identity.

After four painful losses to Barcelona last season, including two in finals, Real Madrid’s motivation is personal.

This time, Tchouameni and his teammates want more than redemption, they want to reclaim pride and momentum in Spain’s most anticipated showdown.
