Real Madrid suffered a surprising setback in Mallorca this Saturday. And Eduardo Camavinga found himself singled out.
Real Madrid lost big on Saturday when they lost to Mallorca in the 30e La Liga day (2-1). FC Barcelona having disposed of Atlético de Madrid later in the evening (1-2), the White House finds itself left behind in the race for the title, now relegated seven lengths from its Blaugrana rival. A potentially crippling gap eight days before the verdict.
For Marca, “Real surrendered”, leaving the field open to Barça and “ transforming the end of the championship into a real ordeal », without suspense. A letting go that is all the more worrying for the Merengues who now have a meeting with Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Same observation at AS for whom “ Real offered La Liga “.
While Federico Valverde was missing on Saturday evening in Mallorca, Eduardo Camavinga started in midfield – a rarity in recent weeks – and the French international failed to stand out. Far from it. “ Camavinga was disastrous », Sanctions Marca, while on the other hand exonerating Kylian Mbappé, described as “ here » in this match.
A lack of character denounced
AS is more critical, clearly, of the captain of the Blues. “ I often forgive MbappĂ© for his faults because he saves us in many matches, but on days like today, I don’t see him rebelling. I don’t hear him say “I’m here”, like Cristiano did (Ronaldo, editor’s note), journalist Tomas Roncero notes in his editorial. What I want are winners, and Real need winners. They have to change half the squad, believe me. »
Like most of his teammates, Eduardo Camavinga in this forum is seen as a good individual, certainly, but a player who lacks character. Remaining on the bench against Brazil these days with the France team, the former Rennais barely played half an hour three days later against Colombia. Without convincing. Beware of the supreme sanction two months before the World Cup…
