Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni admits losing the World Cup final with France was tough to recover from.

Tchouameni missed in the penalty shootout defeat to Argentina.

He said, “We had to digest the defeat, because it was a failure for myself and the team. The missed penalty was a huge blow, but going back to work with Real Madrid means you get back to doing something different quickly enough."

“I think about it", he continued, “I always will. It affected me.

"I'm trying to establish a routine, with different competent people in different areas, to take care of my body."
