Backdrop

Eduardo Camavinga, Real Madrid's French midfielder, addressed circulating rumors of frustration toward his Brazilian teammate Vinícius Júnior during the Sevilla match in La Liga.

According to AS, Camavinga commented on a widely shared video, fueling the discussion about Vinícius's standing within the squad after the Sevilla game.

The Brazilian left the field to boos at the Bernabéu, and later changed his Instagram profile photo from a Madrid shirt to a Brazil jersey.

What happened

The following day, clips emerged of Madrid players exchanging views during the Sevilla game, including Camavinga, who was seen saying: "If you don't move, you'll lose the ball." The moment appeared aimed at Vinícius as he appeared on screen.

In response to a post containing the video, Camavinga wrote on X: "Leave him alone. I wasn't talking about him." This was seen as a public display of unity in Real Madrid's locker room during a challenging spell this season.

Real Madrid later defeated Sevilla 2-0, with goals from Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé.

Punchline: If football drama were a sniper’s game, Camavinga just shot down the rumors in 4K. And Madrid’s squad? They just filed a joint warranty for unity.
