Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has decribed it as a victory that Benfica\u2019s Gianluca Prestianni was suspended for the second leg of their Champions League play-off. Vinicius Junior accused Prestianni of racist abuse during the first leg last week, and UEFA handed him a provisional one-game ban while their investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n

Prestianni and Benfica were furious that he was banned \u2018without evidence\u2019,<\/a> with the former accusing UEFA of being in bed with Real Madrid<\/a>. However Tchouameni felt it was the right decision, as he told El Chiringuito after their 2-1 win on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said to other players, that he said f*****, but Vinicius told us, what he said, you know. What\u2019s happened to him, for me, I think it was the best decision. Knowing that this guy wasn\u2019t playing today, as I\u2019ve said, here are things more important than football, and today is a victory for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tchouameni on potential Manchester City tie<\/h2>\n

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois joked after the match that he was certain<\/a> that Real Madrid would be facing Manchester City<\/a> in the Round of 16, one of two teams they could draw along with Sporting CP. Tchouameni commented to Marca<\/a> that Portugal was an easier journey if nothing else.<\/p>\n

\u201cSurely the trip to Lisbon is better than the trip to Manchester because it\u2019s shorter, but in the end it doesn\u2019t matter. I think if we want to win that competition we have to play against everyone, against the best teams, and it doesn\u2019t matter who we play against. We have to show our best version.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018We need more consistency\u2019 \u2013 Tchouameni<\/h2>\n

Tchouameni rejected the idea that he was \u2018the boss\u2019 of Real Madrid after a player of the match performance, but did call on his side to show this side of themselves more often.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I think I try, like all players, to do things right. Today was a good day for me and I have to keep it up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe definitely need more consistency, but we try to do things the best we can. We certainly have to improve, but we won the game today, that\u2019s the most important thing, and we\u2019ll see about tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Los Blancos host Getafe on Monday night at the Bernabeu, with Barcelona going into the weekend a point ahead of the Catalan side. Under Alvaro Arbeloa, Real Madrid had overhauled a four-point deficit before their defeat to Osasuna on Saturday.<\/p>\n
