Camavinga and Rodrygo revived a shrinking Madrid against Chelsea. The new second unit, an energetic boost, is pure Real Madrid spirit.
29 shots from Chelsea in two matches
Madrid danced on the precipice and survived 29 shots from Chelsea. Something that seems only within the reach of the only team that has addiction to danger in its genome and that, for some reason still unknown to science, is only in the blood of a select few. There are footballers who play better or worse who are made for what Madrid is: it happens to Camavinga and Rodrygo .
Valverde is a cherry on the top
The two flank Fede Valverde in a second unit ready to take the wheel when the curves come. A curious thing happens with the Brazilian. He seems so made for Real Madrid that his performance dissipates in the tedium of day to day and shoots up in European nights, the grass of dreams for the club. His goal against Chelsea is the eighth he has achieved in the top continental competition in just 1,035 minutes that he has had in the Champions League since he landed in Concha Espina. Inspiration comes to him when Madrid is more into his sauce… With Camavinga, Madrid has found the perfect CMK rejuvenator. Madrid had been looking for two-dimensional midfielders for a long time, in the sense that they are capable of imposing their physique on both pitches, in both offensive and defensive transitions. He found it in Eduardo Camavinga. In France there are those who, skeptical of his youth, came to ask Didier Deschamps if he was not getting carried away by fashion when he summoned him, being only 17 years old, in September 2020 for the absolute.“ I have not called you to please anyone”, was the response of the bleu coach. Kante, before and night, can attest.Camavinga was able to leave the aforementioned Kanté, Kovacic, Saúl and Jorginho with their tongues out. He was destroying them one by one.
