In cold with the referees lately, Real Madrid will be led by Frenchman Clément Turpin Tuesday during his first leg of the Champions League in Manchester City.

It is not good to arbitrate Real Madrid at the moment. The Merengues defeat on the Espanyol field last weekend caused an XXL controversy, and the players of Carlo Ancelotti still had things to complain about the whistle after the derby against Atlético (1- 1) Saturday evening.

Among visitors, we noticed that Dani Ceballos could have received a red card for a sole, but Real, for his part, did not appreciate the penalty whistled against Aurélien Tchouaméni after intervention of the Var.

Turpin, eighth time with real

Real Madrid therefore hopes that it will happen better for him in his next match, which is nothing less than his Champions League Entering League dam on the Manchester City lawn. The context promises to be not very obvious for the meeting referee, who will be Clement Turpin.

Generally, French bears rather happiness to the Merengues. Mr. Turpin has already refereed Real seven times in the Champions League, for six victories and a draw. This draw is the latest, for the semi-final to go to the field of Bayern Munich (2-2). The native of Montceau-les-Mines notably led the Champions League final against Liverpool (1-0) in 2022.
