Real Madrid: 5 things you need to know about Eduardo Camavinga
5. Eduardo Camavinga bossed the likes of Marco Verratti and Marquinhos
And finally, last but not the least. The most important highlight of Camavinga’s footballing career to know about is his performance against PSG in Ligue 1 2019/20. Rennes ultimately won 2-1 after being down 0-1 and it was a lot about Camavinga’s performance. Almost every other Camavinga special skills video will have this match’s snippet in them. It was one special performance from the wonderkid.
The new Real Madrid signing bossed the midfield with his neat and tidy one/two touch passing. He drove the Parisians crazy and made them resort to silly challenges. Camavinga displayed a good mix-up of everything he’s capable of. He was seen leading counters and carrying the ball forward which as we know today is one of the highlights of his play. He obviously had a healthy chunk of tackles, as he is known for. His quick feet and dribbling were clearly visible in the way he was beating PSG players and of course, he won freekicks as the game progressed.
He finally found his reward early on, in the second half. When his assist was converted by Romain Del Castillo in the 48th minute. The goal remained the difference between the two sides and Rennes achieved a historic 2-1 win against the giants. With this, he also became the youngest ever player to record an assist in Ligue 1.

The erstwhile 2019/20 season was a satisfying one for Rennes. They also qualified for the Champions League 2020/21. And, most importantly this season can be termed the breakout season for Eduardo Camavinga. He registered 25 appearances and went on to become a regular name in the coming season. Now with Real Madrid, a lot will be expected out of the youngster who seemingly would be a good fit under the Carlo Ancelotti system.
