Midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni expressed his satisfaction with Real Madrid's 1‑0 victory over Villarreal, citing the result as an important step in the season. The player, who participated in his 200th home match, underlined the importance of fan support and the need to continue improving despite the three-week international break.
In his speech on the club's official channels, Tchouameni declared that he was happy with the victory, recalling that Villarreal is a high-level team. He added that although the team can still progress, the priority remains achieving a result. “Victory is fundamental and we must continue in this spirit,” he said.
The player also commented on the atmosphere at the Bernabéu, stating that it is easier to achieve a positive result with the support of the stadium.

Regarding his 200th match with the club, Tchouameni expressed gratitude towards the fans, the president and the entire Real Madrid institution. He described the experience as a dream and hoped to continue playing and winning at home. "Five games at the Bernabéu, five wins. It's our home and we have to keep winning here," he added.
Finally, the midfielder spoke about the next match against Roma in the Champions League. He reiterated that Real Madrid started the competition in a positive way and that the team must now focus on winning in Rome. “We started the Champions League well, now we have to go to Rome and win the match,” he concluded, indicating the importance of maintaining form and determination ahead of the European match.
