Carlo Ancelotti será incapaz de alinear a Eduardo Camavinga en el partido de vuelta contra el Arsenal debido a su sanción por acumulación de tarjetas. Camavinga recibió una tarjeta amarilla en el minuto 70 por una falta sobre Saka, sumándose a tarjetas anteriores de la fase de grupos. Junto a él, otros jugadores como Vinicius, Rüdiger, Endrick, Modric y Ancelotti estaban también advertidos. Esta baja se suma a la ausencia de Tchouaméni por sanción, complicando aún más la situación en el centro del campo del Real Madrid. La tarjeta fue la primera expulsión de Camavinga con el club.
Carlo Ancelotti will not have Eduardo Camavinga available for the return match against Arsenal. In the midst of the chaos between Rice’s second goal and Mikel Merino’s strike, the Real Madrid midfielder received a booking for bringing down Saka. It was the 70th minute of the match, and with this yellow card, he adds to the ones he received during the group stage against Lille and Milan. Consequently, he will have to serve a one-match suspension due to accumulated cards.
Camavinga was one of six Real Madrid players who arrived at the match against Arsenal on the brink of suspension. Alongside him were also flagged Vinicius, Rüdiger, Endrick, Modric, and Ancelotti himself. Ultimately, it was the French midfielder who received the card that rules him out of the return match. Additionally, in London, Madrid had already suffered Tchouaméni’s suspension, further complicating the situation in midfield.
The card was almost the conclusion of a match full of challenges for the French midfielder. Camavinga’s start was erratic; he found his rhythm midway through the first half but was then overwhelmed in the second half by the Arsenal steamroller. The ending was a second yellow card that led to his ejection for pushing the ball away after the Bosnian Ifran Plajto whistled a foul on what was almost the last play of the match. This marks his first expulsion while at Madrid.
