Sibo from Oviedo admits the goal by Tchouaméni was legal: He touches the ball

Real Madrid managed to leave Carlos Tartiere with an important 3-0 victory against Real Oviedo. Having been superior throughout the match, an action by Tchouaméni caused controversy for supposedly being a foul. Sibo, Oviedo's footballer, revealed after the match: "He touched the ball first and I didn't say anything; it was clean, it wasn't a foul."

With these words, the Ghanaian midfielder acknowledged the legality of Tchouaméni's action. "At first I thought Tchouaméni didn't touch the ball," he mentioned to indicate his doubts at the moment of the action. However, as we know at Defensa Central, Sibo realized there was no foul after watching the video of this play.

With these words, Sibo has destroyed all the criticism that anti-Madridists have been making. The Ghanaian was surprised by Tchouaméni's courage to make such a risky move during the match. Even so, Sibo, like all of Oviedo, has been able to acknowledge the defeat in a match that was full of emotions.

The play of the discord

In a first half without any goals, Real Madrid began to take certain risks during the second half. Tchouaméni, who has been an indispensable footballer for Xabi Alonso, was responsible for opening the scoring. With a great tackle to recover the ball, the Frenchman achieved his goal to make a play that ended in a goal.

Although all eyes were on Kylian Mbappé for his goal, Tchouaméni's action caused controversy. With some people indicating that the 25-year-old Frenchman didn't touch the ball, Sibo has acknowledged the opposite. This shows Tchouaméni's cleverness but, above all, his skill to make a risky tackle and not cause a foul.

The midfielder, who was so often criticized during last season, has managed to redeem himself. His tackle that led to a goal shows the confidence he has in himself to make this kind of play. Moreover, this play makes it clear that, without having to play as a center-back anymore, Tchouaméni has been able to develop his game in midfield.

A key player

After this match, Tchouaméni has further confirmed himself as a very important footballer for Real Madrid. Achieving the second victory of this season, the club led by Xabi has started off well. The only thing left to do for the upcoming matches is to keep winning to confirm themselves as leaders in LaLiga.
