"FIASCO", "WEAK LINK OF REAL"... THE SPANISH PRESS SHOWS NO MERCY ON CAMAVINGA AFTER THE FRIENDLY MATCH AGAINST FIORENTINA

Starting in José Mourinho's lineup for Saturday's friendly against Fiorentina (2-2) in Klagenfurt, Austria, French midfielder Eduardo Camavinga played the entire match but failed to make an impact. At least, that's the opinion of the Spanish media, who were highly critical of the former Rennes player.

Is Eduardo Camavinga headed for another difficult season at Real Madrid? After a disappointing 2025-2026 season, marked by a notable absence from Didier Deschamps' World Cup squad, the versatile French player is clearly not starting the summer at his best.

Starting for José Mourinho against Fiorentina in a friendly match (2-2) on Saturday in Klagenfurt, Austria, the former Rennes player was among the Real Madrid players who disappointed the most. Although he played the entire match and even provided an assist, "Cama" failed to capitalize on the absence of several key players to influence the game.

He could have given new recruit Espi his first goal but "didn't see him or didn't want to pass him the ball," laments Marca, which predicts he will have a substitute role under the Special One.

"He's not making progress."

Like the Madrid daily newspaper, the Spanish press is not kind to the 23-year-old player. While Cadena Ser believes that Eduardo Camavinga has been "Real Madrid's weak link," Tomas Roncero, a journalist for AS, saw a player "still as inconsistent, distracted, and fragile as during his disappointing season last year."

And to add insult to injury: "The versatile Frenchman, once a rising star, has become a complete flop." "He's not progressing and brings nothing to the team's midfield play," sighs the journalist, for whom a good offer from the Premier League would undoubtedly signal the time for his departure.
