“Football is ungrateful” Eduardo Camavinga opens up on Bayern Munich red card heartbreak

Eduardo Camavinga has spoken publicly for the first time about the red card he received during the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal clash between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, describing it as a painful moment that has stayed with him.

In an interview with former French international Olivier Dacourt on Canal+ Foot, the Real Madrid midfielder reflected honestly on the incident and its aftermath, offering insight into both the emotional toll and the pressure that followed.

Camavinga admitted the sending-off was something he never expected and still views it as an unfortunate accident.

"The red card? A bad memory. I think it was an accident I didn’t expect at all. It affected me. But it’s part of a player’s life.

I’m not lying when I say that after what happened, I shut everything out. After everything that was being said, I didn’t think it was necessary to keep looking. I think life is better without social media.

Football is ungrateful. You can play ten great matches, but people only remember the one bad game where you make a mistake."
