Camavinga, the disaster

It’s a slap that Real Madrid will have a hard time forgetting. The Merengues were slapped by FC Barcelona (2-5) on Sunday in the final of the Spanish Super Cup. And one of the symbols of this shipwreck is Eduardo Camavinga.

According to AS, we saw the bad Camavinga again, the one from his debut at Real. “An uncontrolled, erratic player, with a tendency to brake too much. » Not the solid and inspired midfielder, capable of making differences on both sides of the field, who had established himself as one of the references to his position on an international level.

Camavinga in pain

Camavinga is notably guilty of the foul on Gavi which will offer Robert Lewandowski the penalty for 2-1. Warned about this action, the former Rennais miraculously escaped the red card for a foul on Lamine Yamal which could clearly have earned him a second yellow. At half-time, Carlo Ancelotti decided to replace him with Dani Ceballos.

The Frenchman’s statistics? During these 45 minutes, he is the midfielder who touched the fewest balls (19), who made the fewest passes (12), who played the least in the opposing final third. For the rest, no dribbling, and 4 fouls for only 2 balls recovered. Camavigna must do better. Real Madrid needs it… and the French team too, in the longer term.
