Problem with list value (ValueError) in python 3

I am trying to create a simple card game for school, I am at the stage of coding how gameplay works within the game and am getting a ValueError when trying to remove a value from a list

I've already tried changing my list.remove(x) syntax, so far I have tried list.remove(list[x]), list.remove([x]) and list.remove(x), but all of these have returned a ValueError.

import random, time #imports required modules for the code

cardDeck = []
player1 = []
player1CardsWon = []
player2 = []
player2CardsWon = [] #all these lists/arrays are needed later on in the code

def deckCreator(): #creates all the needed embedded lists inside the cardDeck 2D Array
  for color in ["yellow", "red", "black"]:
    for number in [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]:
      cardDeck.append([color, number])

'''test 1 - to check if deckCreator function is working
deckCreator()
print(cardDeck)
'''

def deckShuffle(): #shuffles the cardDeck 2D Array
  random.shuffle(cardDeck)

'''test 2 - to check if the deckShuffle function is working
deckCreator()
print(cardDeck)
deckShuffle()
print(cardDeck)

I expect the console to output:

Player 1 holds card red 9 for this round
Player 2 holds card black 8 for this round
Player 1 wins!

But it is currently outputting:

Player 1 holds card red 9 for this round
Player 2 holds card black 8 for this round
