Tuesday's 3-0 defeat against Arsenal was very harmful to Real Madrid, but it was especially for one player whose recent struggles went to a new level in the first stage of the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
And that player is Eduardo Camavinga. The 22-year-old midfielder started the season with a knee injury that had excluded him for two months, and even since then he has been catching up. And even if he has been fit, he has delivered countless bad versions, with the latter in North Londs earlier this week.
Carlo Ancelotti has tried to reverse Camavinga's fortunes. He was very satisfied with the Frenchman's performance in the Champions League round of 16 second stage against Atletico Madrid when he was introduced as a replacement, but the fame that was built up came down against Arsenal.
Camavinga gave away the error that led to Arsenal's second goal, and in a stop time he was sent away after he had received a second yellow card for kicking the ball. And on the back of this, Diario, just as it reported that Real Madrid officials are worried about him and the level he has produced.
Camavinga's struggles started in January when he brought the penalty away during the 5-1 defeat of Real Madrid against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final, and another big mistake came into the first stage of that draw against Atleti when he was assessed that he had not done enough to stop Julian Alvareuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
The report states that Camavinga plays to define his future in Real Madrid in the last weeks of the season. He is probably back behind Aurelien Tchouameni in the pecking order in midfield, although he can occasionally be used in the left back after the bad show of David Alaba in the position against Arsenal.
