Eduardo Camavinga is going through a challenging season at Real Madrid, facing growing criticism from fans.
The French midfielder has been at the centre of several costly mistakes that have led to dropped points, which has resulted in a loss of trust from Carlo Ancelotti. Now, with Dani Ceballos sidelined due to injury, Camavinga has a crucial opportunity to prove his worth.
With Ceballos unavailable, Camavinga is set to step into the starting lineup alongside Aurelien Tchouameni, Federico Valverde, and Jude Bellingham.
However, neither Valverde nor Bellingham will be available for the upcoming clash against Real Betis, making Camavinga’s role even more crucial.
So far, this has not been the best campaign for Camavinga. He has been criticised heavily by Madrid fans and has struggled to gain Ancelotti’s confidence.

In La Liga, he has played only 28% of available minutes, mainly due to the three injuries he has suffered this season. Across all competitions, he has missed 24 matches.
Even when fit, he has not been a regular feature in the team, completing just six of the 22 games he has played. His contributions include a goal and two assists, but they have not been enough to silence his critics.
One of the biggest concerns surrounding Camavinga this season has been his costly mistakes. He has conceded three penalties at crucial moments, leading to frustration among supporters.
Many fans have held him responsible for some of the team’s setbacks, making his position in the squad even more uncertain.
With Ceballos now out, this is a defining moment for Camavinga. He must seize this opportunity to prove himself, regain the trust of both Ancelotti and the fans, and steer clear of further criticism. The coming weeks could be decisive for his future at Real Madrid.
