Tchouameni leaves the kid in tears with a wayward shot, makes up for it later

Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni accidentally knocked down a young fan in the stands with a powerful shot during the team’s LaLiga clash against Racing Santander on Sunday. However, the Frenchman made sure to make it up to the kid after the game, meeting him near the dressing room and signing his Real Madrid shirt.

A young fan, believed to be less than 10 years old, was left in tears after being hit by the ball. But what could have been an unpleasant memory from the game turned into a special experience for the kid as he met some of Real Madrid’s biggest stars.

Tchouameni personally met the young fan after the final whistle and signed his Real Madrid shirt. Kylian Mbappe also stopped by with the child, who took the opportunity to have fun at the expense of his teammate.

“It’s Tchouameni’s fault, he can’t shoot,” joked Mbappe, drawing attention to the incident and helping turn the unfortunate moment into a lighter one.

The gesture from the Real Madrid players ensured the young prop left with more than just a painful memory of the match. Meeting Tchouameni and Mbappe and taking home a signed shirt for an unexpected post-match experience.

REAL MADRID CRUISE TO 6TH STRAIGHT WIN

The incident came during a comfortable evening for Real Madrid, who continued their winning run with a 3-0 victory over Racing Santander. Goals from Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Yano Diomande helped Jose Mourinho’s side secure a sixth straight win in all competitions.

Real Madrid moved to within three points of leaders Barcelona and second-placed Atlético Madrid, while Racing remained in 16th place, just a point above the relegation zone.

Buoyed by their Clasico win the previous week, Madrid started confidently and took the lead in the 11th minute. Mbappe converted from the penalty spot to give the visitors an early advantage.

The French forward then played a key role in the second goal, combining with Arda Guler to set Bellingham free. The England midfielder showed composure to slip past Racing goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala before rolling the ball into an empty net in the 21st minute.

Nine minutes before half-time, Diomande added a third when he smashed a bouncing ball into the top corner to round off an impressive first half. The Ivorian continued his excellent form with four goals and three assists in his last six games.

Racing offered some resistance but looked to trouble the visitors after the break. Real Madrid controlled the proceedings and limited the visitors to just one shot on goal. Mbappe came close to extending the lead in the 60th minute, but his effort hit the post.

The win also marked a comfortable return for goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who was back in the squad after missing the previous week’s match due to illness.

Mourinho was particularly pleased with the defensive contribution of his attacking players, who highlighted the importance of their work without the ball.

“Having more attacking players put in the hard and dedicated work will send a positive message to the rest of the team,” said the Portuguese manager.

The Real Madrid manager also spoke of the growing understanding between himself and the squad, saying the relationship has improved since his arrival.

“I understood things that I didn’t understand the first day; the players understand my character better.

“They understand what is non-negotiable for me. There is a good human connection between the players and the coach. We are in a good place,” added Mourinho.

Real Madrid will now turn their attention to the Champions League as they travel to Greece on Wednesday to face AEK Athens.
