In Matchday 5 of the UEFA Champions League Stage, Real Madrid defeated Olympiacos 4-3. Eduardo Camavinga, who started the game, was substituted at half-time. According to Camel.live, Camavinga was substituted because he had suffered from flu previously and exerted excessive energy in the first half.
Initially, people were worried that Camavinga might have been injured, but that was not the case. Camavinga had flu before; although he had recovered, he still exerted too much energy in the first half. Therefore, Xabi Alonso chose to keep him on the bench in the second half and sent Dani Ceballos on the field.
In fact, Camavinga did not show any signs of flu in the first half. He was very active, actively participated in the transition between offense and defense, recovered the ball many times, and delivered one of his best performances this season. Ceballos also actively seized the playing time given by Alonso and strived to help Real Madrid control the game.
