Aurelien Tchouameni, a midfielder for Real Madrid, played the entire 90 minutes of France’s recent match against Germany in Dortmund on Tuesday.

He was granted the day off by the team after the game, but the midfielder shocked everyone by showing up for practice, according to Spanish daily AS.

Technically, it took him less than 12 hours to travel from Signal Iduna Park to Real Madrid’s Valdebebas in preparation for the forthcoming home match against Real Sociedad.

Kepa Arrizabalaga, Andriy Lunin, Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, Luka Modric, Federico Valverde, Rodrygo, Joselu, and Tchouameni himself were among the 12 Real Madrid players who were on international service.

Although Tchouameni was given permission to take tomorrow off from training, he instead chose to stay home and surprise everyone at the club.
