Tonight's matchup between Real Madrid and Juventus is vital for Xabi Alonso and Los Blancos.

Even if Real Madrid has a strong start to the Champions League season, winning this weekend's match against Barcelona will give the team a huge boost in confidence.

However, when Real Madrid plays the Old Lady at the Bernabeu tonight, supporters have a particular tifo in mind for the Juventus match.

Fans of Real Madrid will honour Lucas Vázquez.


According to MARCA, tonight, Real Madrid supporters will honour former star Lucas Vázquez by displaying a tifo honouring the Galician winger.

Vazquez played for Real Madrid for nearly his whole career before officially quitting the team last summer to join Bayer Leverkusen.

The veteran played in almost 400 games for Real Madrid when he was at the Bernabeu, winning five Champions League trophies in the process. Real Madrid supporters intend to display a tifo against Juventus in remembrance of the contribution.

A heartwarming picture of a young Lucas wearing a green jacket and clutching a Real Madrid scarf will be featured in the mosaic. The footballer posted the photograph on social media before a Clásico in 2017.

Since then, that picture has grown to be recognisable to Madrid fans, capturing the unadulterated enthusiasm of a young man who grew up hoping to play for his team.

Another level of significance is added by the opponent selection. One of Real Madrid's most memorable events occurred during the 2018 Champions League quarterfinals when Lucas was personally involved in the stoppage-time penalty dispute with Medhi Benatia against Juventus.

Cristiano Ronaldo's game-winning goal and Real Madrid's 13th European championship were the result of his efforts.

DISCIPLINARY BLOW: MADRID PLAYER SUSPENDED POST EL CLáSICO TUSSLE

Real Madrid's backup keeper Andriy Lunin has been handed a one-game suspension by the RFEF for his aggressive conduct on the bench during the heated final moments of El Clásico. Real Madrid's appeal was rejected.

Los Blancos' goalie Andriy Lunin has been suspended for one game by the RFEF Disciplinary Committee for his involvement in the sideline dramas during the El Clásico's final moments. Although the cameras did not catch it, referee Soto Grado did record that he had sent the Ukrainian off.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the RFEF responded as follows when asked why Lunin received a red card.

The reason for Lunin, Andrii's expulsion in the 90th minute was that he had to be restrained by his teammates after he walked aggressively from his bench to the blonde bench.

"When considered significant, those whose behaviour violates sporting order will be suspended for four to ten games or fined between 602 and 3,006 euros."

Because of Lunin's actions, which constituted a minor violation of the sporting order, he was suspended for one game. The ruling had been challenged by Real Madrid. However, the RFEF stayed steadfast, defending the referee's ruling and the evidence in the match report and on film.

Now, the backup goalie will not play against Valencia this weekend, where he is probably going to be benched. Fran Gonzalez and Sunico, both from the youth team, might be called up as the matchday squad's third choice, with Sergio Mestre serving as a backup.

No Barcelona players or any other Real Madrid players were slapped with bans following the two flash moments in the closing stages of the game. When Vinicius Jr. and Lamie Yamal argued, even players who were not on the team were spotted shoving on the side of the field. The RFEF, however, determined that nothing that came to pass would justify further prohibitions.

According to Bukayo Saka, it is feasible for Arsenal and England to win both games this season. The season has started well for the Gunners under Mikel Arteta's leadership.

Arsenal leads the Premier League standings by four points at the moment and is starting to look like a title contender. Manchester City is only one point ahead of defending champions Liverpool, who are seven points behind.

Saka, however, is not only interested in winning at his club; he also hopes to succeed internationally. Manager Thomas Tuchel has stated that winning the trophy is his ambition for England, who have qualified for the World Cup in the USA next year.

Saka is optimistic about his club's and his nation's chances of winning. "Yeah, that is my prayer," he remarked in an interview with Sky Sports. It is possible, of course.
