Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has dismissed claims that Barcelona’s Gavi was responsible for the foot injury he sustained during Saturday’s El Clasico.<\/p>\n

In response to footage of the incident, Tchouameni tweeted: ‘It’s not Gavi’s fault. I was injured at the end of the first half.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
