19 years old and already moments that 99.9% of footballers will never have the chance to experience in their career. French midfielder Eduardo Camavinga is having an exceptional spring for his first season in the colors of Real Madrid. The former Stade Rennais prodigy has participated in all the fabulous qualifications since the knockout stages of the Champions League against PSG.
Wednesday evening, his contribution was crucial from his entry into play in place of Modric (75th) to overthrow Manchester City in the semi-finals (3-1, ap). By finding Benzema in the area on the reduction of Rodrygo’s score (90th), he greatly participated in the miracle.
And the ovation received when he left the Santiago Bernabeu stadium is worth more than words. The midfielder took advantage of this moment with the innocence and this touch of madness that characterizes him. He exited the cockpit via the sunroof and celebrated this victory in the middle of the crowd.
Thibault Courtois, also author of a capital performance, is not to be outdone. Escorted by a tide of supporters, the Belgian goalkeeper ended up honking his horn to get out.
Videos of this memorable fervor have flooded the web since the final whistle. The joy of the Brazilian clan in the locker room has also gone viral. Militao and Rodrygo put on a show… before being joined by Mendy and the kid Camavinga, author of an “unforgettable” dance step according to Le Mundo Deportivo.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men hope to do it again on May 28 in the corridors of the Stade de France. This will require beating the Liverpool Reds.
