Player to Watch

Aurelien Tchouameni

Since moving to Real Madrid from AS Monaco this past summer, Aurelien Tchouameni has excelled. He appears to have the strength to step into Casemiro's shoes at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Tchouameni is expected to be paired in midfield alongside Luka Modric and Toni Kroos as the French young midfielder continues his growth under the tutelage of the veteran midfielders.

The matchup with Real Betis, who will give Tchouameni his first significant test as a Real Madrid player, will be another sign of his future. Watching how he performs on Saturday will be interesting.
